need help Code P1266
Sorry for the double post .... should have been P1266 not 1226
Has anyone ever had a code of P1266. I know what the code means but I need help in finding out how to fix the car. The car is a 1999 C4 I got a CEL and loss of power at elevation. If I stop and restart the car it drives just fine. Also at lower elevation the car runs great. Could this be a simple MAF fix? Has anyone else ran into this problem? The road to and from the house is a dirt road.
The car is not mine and I am posting on here to help out an older guy .... He is in his 80's! He use to have a 356 that he pick up from the factory back in the day (1961). How cool is that!
Any help would be grateful.
thanks!

Looked like reflash of the DME to correct an altitude glitch.
"Cross Post from RennTech:
I just heard from my dealer who just heard from the regional PCNA tech rep.
He says that PAG/Germany is aware of the DME/OBDII P1266 Fault and failure mode. Further they know what is causing it and how to fix it in the DME software. A fix is in the works. "
"Cross Post from RennTech:
Porsche has made a change to some code in the DMEs of my car and the other car of which I am aware that have had this particular fault code, P1266. A new, pre-programmed DME arrived at my dealership Friday and was swapped into my car. PAG intends to incorporate the fix into the next release of GT3 DME code distributed by CD to those with PST2 subscriptions. When that code is installed in my dealer's PST2, PCNA has asked that my original DME be re-installed in my car and the updated code re-flashed into the original from the PST2. That way, all my engine history data in my original DME will stay with the car. Thanks to PAG and PCNA for addressing this."
