Asked by Aaron Aug 25, 2015 at 06:21 PM about the 1998 Honda Civic Coupe

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I moved to Wyoming from Missouri and my
car acts like it has no power. Maybe it didn't
adjust for the altitude?

If you are @ 5000feet at ambient temperature and 30% relative humidity, you have lost 21% of your horsepower. Only a turbo compressor engine can compensate the loss.
