L-Jetronic Air-flow sensor

[Zack]

Ben,

How are they less restrictive?  If you're talking about flapper door 
type airflow meters, the ones with the higher total measurement 
capacity are actually slightly more restrictive due greater tension 
in the clock spring.
	And anyway, the answer is no.  The internals of the flapper door 
meters on Japanese cars I know of (Mazda) are specific to the model 
of car, and may even differ among different models of the same car 
(i.e., turbo vs. non-turbo), so that the ECU will not be able to 
properly assess airflow if you plug an AFM which is not matched to 
the ECU.  On Mazda's in particular the first letter and three digits 
of the AFM part number match the ECU part code.
