I have a 94 celica ST. every time I turn on the AC it feels as if what little torque I have dissapears. I was wondering if there was anything that I could do to possibly solve this problem as it often leaves me choosing power over cool air which can be somewhat uncomfortable in the blazing Texas heat.

Little harsh, don't you think?
The reason that you feel drag of power, is because the A/C compressor has to spin the refreigerant, and since it's liquid, it takes lots of power to do so, just like FallenHero said. Only way to over come the power loss is to make more, so the loss isn't as big as it seems. |
