Car looses power when A/C is on.
As the title says ...whenever the a/c is on the car looses power. it will accelerate slower and it will gear into shift roughly. when the a/c is off the bump between gears isn't so noticeable. Is something i can do? i replaced the air filter and it has a new motor .(Escort 94 1.9 Automatic)
It also has the check engine light on..codes : 172-lack of HEGO switches,indicates lean 332-EGR valve opening not detected could this be related to the problem? How about some new spark plugs? any thoughts? |

Re: Car looses power when A/C is on.
no you cannot do anything about it. the AC just robs the engine of power like a thief, just like auto trans. so dont expect to blast your way on the highway with AC on. I was a bit disappointed wen i turn on the AC on my escort like last week cuz i was so used to the power of non AC......

Re: Car looses power when A/C is on.
Take it to a dealer to have those codes checked out. 172 sounds like you have an O2 sensor going bad, which can affect performance/mileage. 332 sounds like either you EGR valve, sensor, or pump (solenoid thingy?). A dealer can tell you for sure, but it might cost about 60-80 bucks.
