My car seems to loose power with my AC on, why is that? Also it gets bad hesitation at around 40 mph, I need a fix for this ASAP. Thanks guys

The AC compressor puts a load on the engine when running. It's normal to feel a little sluggish, I notice it much more in my 4cyl car. As for the hesitation it's likely a coil issue. How many miles on the car?

I had the same problem recently /replaced 2 brand x coils that were in the car on the passenger bank. :banana2:

I can hardly feel it when my a/c is on. Maybe because of my mods.

Yeah I can feel the differance with the A/C on or even when its really hot and humid and the A/C is turned off, runs like a ***** ape when nice and cool and dry lol.
