I Donated broknindarkagain Posted July 28, 2011 I Donated Share Posted July 28, 2011 The new OB is slow as mollasis when the A/C is on...seems abnormally slow. When the AC isn't on, it runs great. I've cleaned the IAC, MAF, TB, seafoam in the brake booster line, FI cleaner in the tank, and I'm working on a tune up now. Any other ideas? -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

DelawareBlueHen724 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 yeah mine has no power either when the A/C is on, I just figured its like any other car losing power with the A/C blasting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Donated broknindarkagain Posted July 28, 2011 Author I Donated Share Posted July 28, 2011 This is my first Subaru with A/C...so I wouldn't know lol. It seems like its WAY too slow though. I lose about 60% of my power when using AC however, not that I have the plugs out of the car...I think I can see why. -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

Zues Marine Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 its the damn ac pulley and belts that the motor has to turn.. its never hot enough in washington to need AC on the whole day even at 90° probably another story is humid ass georgia, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated broknindarkagain Posted July 28, 2011 Author I Donated Share Posted July 28, 2011 Its sticky and muggy as hell here. Things cleared up a little after a tune up and cleaning everything...however I think my IAC is still gunked up. I need to clean it some more -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

I Donated broknindarkagain Posted July 29, 2011 Author I Donated Share Posted July 29, 2011 You couldn't tell a difference when AC was running in my Taurus lol -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

lulzcow Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Mine did the same when I drove it home. Granted, it was in terrible shape...but still. And when I owned a Taurus, the difference wasn't too noticeable, but you could tell it had less pull, especially entering the highway. Even if the heat index is 110 here, I still roll around with the windows down instead of using AC. Never been a fan of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baddog Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I tried pulling a full car of people with tools in the trunk (~100 lbs) with the A/C on. Yeah not gonna happen. There is absolutely no pull to the car (not like there has been lately anyways) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated broknindarkagain Posted July 29, 2011 Author I Donated Share Posted July 29, 2011 Eh my GT had some pep to it...same engine / trans / final drive. Today I figured out that it doesnt have a SUbaru coil pack. I don't know WTF it came from, but wires are spliced to make it work. hmm -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

ShadowImg Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Every Subaru I've owned (back to an 01 2.5RS) cuts the A/C out when you go past a certain throttle to mitigate this. It *is* a dog when you're light on the throttle and it's engaged though. If I'm idling and the A/C kicks in on the Spec B, the car will actually shudder a bit under the drag.

johnegg Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 there is a ''power mode'' mod that will change the shift criteria, especially the down shift criteria. makes a big difference when the AC is stealing all the power. or you just reach over and turn it off for 20 seconds.
