So while i was driving my lancer today i noticed that the car was having a problem accelerating when i had the a/c was running. I had my foot down on the pedal and it would barely pick up speed. and another thing after coming to a complete stop then as i would accelerate the car would jerk and the rpms would jump and when that happened the service engine light came on.

i was wondering if nebody could help me out with these problems i would really appreciate it.
oh and i recently recharged my a/c so maybe that has something to do with these problems. i dont know tho.

 

does your A/C work?...compressor pulley move freely?

 

the a/c blows cold air so it works good but whenever i have the a/c running the car has problems picking up speed. and when i do come to a stop the car jerks as i begin to accelerate.

 

Sounds like a coil pack i used to have the same problems , it started with the Ac on only and evolved .

 

so what do i needa to do to get rid of this problem?

 

you might have some leak on the piping.. get it checked.

 

What would probably fix it would be changing the coil packs if it is that ut then again since i am not there i wouldn't be able to tell .

Start with changing out your spark plugs , then go from there . Just buy some cheap Ngk v plugs . Please buy Ngk or Denso and not the other junk .

 

well thanks erbody for the advice. I'll definitely go to autozone to see if they can figure out what's wrong with that and I'll also change the spark plugs, don't know how long it's been since the last owner has changed the spark plugs.
