Serious Loss of Power with A/C
Okay so i was accelerating with my a/c off, and around 25 mph i turned on the a/c... The car felt like it just hit a wall! Anyone know why?

The A/C compressor takes about 10-15 hp from the the engine. What you felt was actually the compressor yanking on the crankshaft as the clutch engaged. Thats pretty much normal operation.
