    From my experience and that of others, the codes can be temperamental and get thrown after unusual driving. If you are lucky, turning the car off and back on, might clear it....

    Thank you for the input. Was on it pretty good and at a 9500 ft. All stock and looks like I will be staying that way lol for awhile till I get a bit for confidence with her. She sure pulls hard and such a fantastic all around sports car! Came out of a 14' GT3 so I already had pretty high expectations. CPO so hopefully that helps out.

    Many of faults, in my experience, have to do with a sub par battery. I would eliminate that as a cause, first.

    A $50 OBD reader would tell you what code it was which would stop the guessing

    Generally I would say Battery first but in this case ild say elevation.

    At 9500 feet there is much less oxygen. To a N/A its power definitely would go down.

    For a turbo and pushing it , well it could have been the reason.

    As it turns out I’d was emissions related and the Emissions warranty not the CPO warranty will cover it. Whew!
