Rusti lives at an altitude of 3500 in the mountains above Palm Springs, CA. She is exactly 10 miles from Banning and 16 miles from Idyllwild, the Poppet Flats area.
She has a problem keeping the 1.8 running on its original FI. At that altitude I think she needs a visit from someone local, and familiar with the AFC system. She is pretty good mechanically, but stumped on this one. I can provide an email addy to those able to help. |

Check the engine for vacuum leaks. Check the Oil Cap Seals.. this is essential. And make sure some moron hasn't tampered with the air flow meter.
Other than that, it should work great at any altitude. |
