It sounds and performs excellently at sea level; however, when I travel above 2000 meters above sea level, it emits excessive smoke and a strong diesel smell that makes my eyes water.

Manual-mechanical response on the topic of L200 excessive smoke when starting at altitude

Is it only happening at startup? If so, check the coolant temperature sensor with a multimeter; the resistance readings should be between 2100 and 2700 ohms. Alternatively, check the intake air temperature sensor, which should be between 2300 and 3000 ohms. If it happens at idle, it could be the oxygen sensor (lambda sensor).
