Alright so I recently drove my car to a job interview in Albuquerque NM. On the highway I noticed no difference, but once I hit the city the car felt resticted. Like it wasnt breathing right. It had less get up n go then here in Houston. Does elevation have something to do with it. If so do i need a tune when i move to New Mexico?

It is because the air is thinner there. My car runs better at the beach. I would try to disconnect the negative and depress the breaks and gas a few times and let it sit for a bit. Reconnect and it should reset.

Would'nt it be easier to simply remove the ECU fuses ?

:D

It may work...but the guys in the shop said to disconnect the battery yady yady yady......????????
By removing only the fuse(s) u don't have to remake your radio's settings, and set time... and...

On factory radio... it's ok, but more trouble when u mess with time alignment.

And... yes, i noticed a better MPG too when i had to go where air is fresher. Not once... and a co-worker noticed it too.
