moving ?
Hi i am wonderland about things to look for not to worry about when they happen things that don't need to be immediately address that probably will work out after the car has been driving for a why ll their.
I mean i am moving to Utah at first i was thinking CO but got a better job offer in Utah for November through May.
right now im in South Florida at sea level. so air and oxygen is going to be different than it will be in Utah at 1 and 1/2 mile above sea level like 8000 feet above where i am air and oxygen will be different
So what kids of affects should i look to expect on the vehicle.
will i notice at first a ruff idle or am i going to be throwing engine codes and warning lights at first before the Computer adjust to being at new altitude ?
I don't want to run to the dealer at sigh of first issue and spend money that won't need to be spent
if it doesn't have to be done.
but how long is good enough to give it to set in to know weather it is a issue that needs to be address or it just needs time for the Computer to adjust to the new area and new air levels ?
like should i expect Oxygen sensor codes or mas air flow issues or emission codes fuel codes ?
ruff or smoother idle ?
any help here would be much appreciated
thank you

If I understand your post correctly (it was kind of hard to follow) you shouldn't have to do anything special with your car. I know a lot of snowbirds who go back and forth from northern climates to Florida, Arizona etc. in the winter and their cars do just fine.
Modern systems adjust for climate and temperature changes. You might have to adjust tire pressures, consider what weight of oil you want to use but that should be it.
