1st gear hesitation when the AC is on

Postby EGG80X » Thu Jan 03, 2008 9:19 am

Hey guys,

I am just having no luck with the engine lol.... Being hot the last few day I had the air con on and I noticed on 1st gear standing starts really bogs downand hesitate to accelerate... On hill starts its even worse. Feel like I'm starting on 3rd gear, the engine bogs around 1000rpm and struggle to go accelerate. Sometime I have to do a 2500-3000rpm launch or clutch kick to get the car moving. But with the air con off drives normal......


oh btw its on new spark parks, almost new leads, almost new ign. coil pack, 1yr old heavy duty clutch, new fuel filter, clean air filter....

I'd be looking at a 02 sensor...... or someone sold you crappy leads.
