CEL came on, 2008 XKR
Driving back from Arizona yesterday when the CEL came on after climbing the 93 out of Kingman heading for Vegas. I had stopped in Kingman so we could stretch our legs but I didn't gas up. Last time this happened the evap system had thrown a code as I drove the car back from Palm Springs the day I bought it.
The connection for me is that both trips involve rapid changes in elevation and the codes were set a few miles after a stop. Is the evap system on these cars overly sensitive/plain cranky? I'll get the code looked at tomorrow. Car runs just fine.

From the manual:
P010100: Mass Air Flow (MAF) circuit - range/performance
Possible Causes:
• Blocked air cleaner element
• Leakage from air intake system
• Engine breather leak
• MAF sensor sensing circuit - high resistance, intermittent short to ground
• MAF sensor supply circuit - high resistance
• MAF sensor failure

If the MIL comes on with altitude changes, what is the condition of the air cleaner element and have you checked for any possible vacuum leaks from mis-fitting hoses? Have you looked at fuel trims to see if there is any indication of lean mixture?
