Reverse Quells Curse 200

I once failed to properly connect the Air Duct to the rear of the AMM, and got virtually the same symptoms. Trying to accelerate forward was like a kid first learning to use a clutch. Reverse (like in an empty parking lot) was nearly normal.

The duct had backed off and dropped a bit—so it hung below the AMM and acted like a scoop for "false air" when going forward. Reconnecting the duct cured the problem.
