Its not a one way valve, but a filter to prevent the sensor from being damaged by gas fumes. I believe it is supposed to point towards the sensor but really shouldn't matter.

I was under the impression that it was there to prevent spikes in the readings and keep them over all more smooth. No checks really. I imagine someone will know for sure.

Its a filter as stated, The direction shouldent matter, if anything take it out, which ever side has the lease resistance when you blow thru it should be pointing towards the map.
