Loss of engine power?

So, i have a 2.4L Auto SS 4Dr.


I had to take a trip down to colorado (from utah), which is roughly 500mi.

Im sitting here in colorado now, i think the altitude is a bit higher, but none the less, the car ran perfect up here, alot of power.



I start the car this morning to go for a drive, and...it doesnt wanna put out.


I checked the 'oil life' and its still at 65%, with 3,000+. so im assuming they are using the 15000milage oil.

its just weird to me. could it be the fact that its not used to the altitude change?


all i do know is, some kid in a 2.2L took off faster than i did and whatnot...but also, mine was faster.


i floored it, and it was like..crap.

Its just the altitude, your car is fine, dont worry about it.
