Hello DaBibo!
The conceptual approach isn't bad at all! If you narrow the cross-section to such an extent that the flow velocity in the measurement section is increased by the percentage decrease in the LMM measurement signal, then a compensation effect is achieved.
For nearly incompressible media, such as liquids, the required cross-sectional area can be easily determined using the continuity equation.
In the case of a gas, the laws of gas dynamics must also be taken into account, but I believe that throttling through a moderate reduction in cross-sectional area will likely have a negligible effect.
However, a prerequisite for such compensation would be a uniform decrease in the LMM signal across the entire speed range, i.e., a parallel shift of the characteristic curve.
IMO, with a faulty mass airflow sensor (MAF), the characteristic curve is more likely to be "stepped," meaning that it deviates from the expected curve only above a certain engine speed.
This, at least, is what my measurement from yesterday showed, using my faulty MAF sensor (see the post "MAF sensor statistics"). Please correct me if I'm wrong!
