Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

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
