AC load

[sally86rk]

I have an 89 T w/120,+++, and when using the AC I find a tremendous loss of power. Do others of you find this too? I mean it's still driveable, but was wondering if it needs a fine tune [a 60k was done at 108,000]. I use midgrade gas. Thanks, Ron

I can feel my car get slower when A/C kicks on. I will be replacing the oriface tube to see if might have been clogged.

Turning on the AC is like having your mother-in-law in the trunk.

It's normal. Get used to it.

Thanks, that's good news. Not the part about the mother-in-law, but now I know my car is normal. Ron

my god, my mother-in-law weighs like 200 pounds... well, I guess that's about right.

How do you know what it's like to have your mother in law in your TRUNK!?!?!

Thats why you just roll windows down and drive 10 mph faster AHA Windows down saves gas over a/c too! To much for these engines to spin around

That's alright. My mother in law rides in the trunk, too. its quieter that way...

Hmm, that's a good alternative to sandbags for your guys in the Great White North. Plus she'll give you random bits of advice with you asking for it, whenever you drive!
