I have experienced this every time we go skiing in Mammoth or Tahoe, and I have wondered about an adjustment that could be made to compensate for higher altitude. Is there such an adjustment for the FI system that the Vanagon uses? I wonder if the Aussie chip will have any impact on this. (Anyone in the mountains using a chip?) I know that Mick Kalber has the chip and rockers and also makes trips up to his local mountains - Mick - anything to add?
