AC + loss of power.

[cleanwithit0607]

Alright, so when I turn on my AC it gets louder, and I lose power at the pedal...Soon as I turn it off, it's fine. Any Ideas?

How many miles does your cb have?

[cleanwithit0607]

225,000 or something. It runs fine..Just the AC is messing up my power somehow.

I have the most miles on the forum (as far as I know) and when I turned on my a/c it would bog me down like crazy, then after I turned it off the motor ran fine.

I have 365,xxx miles.

[cleanwithit0607]

Yeah? So, did you ever fix it, or just take it out?

A/C kills hp a bit I read a study in honda tuning, if everything was ran in a car electrical stuff radio,lights and ac 10 hp can be lost.

I don't understand, it never did that in my other Accord... Could it be the compressor?

You're battery or alternator isn't strong enough to handle the AC. Make sure they are both in good condition.

my g/f '07 Accord loses power when the A/C gets turned out. its normal. your adding more weight to the crank once the A/C gets switched on. thus the loss in power. the older the motor, the more you'll feel the loss if the motor hasnt been taken care of properly.
