Hello all - As I drove my 87 syncro over the Sierra Nevada last weekend, I noticed my usually peppy "boston bob" 2.1 waterboxer getting quite sluggish at high altitudes. The westys were crusin' past me with no worries as I plugged along at ~20 mph in 2nd gear. This seemed to be most noticeable above 6000-7000 ft. When I returned to lower elevation, the engine regains health and runs like a champ. Any ideas what is causing this? Is there some sort of air pressure sensor? Thanks in advance! Cheers, Daniel __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free, easy-to-use web site design software http://sitebuilder.yahoo.com |
