I recently changed the alternator belt and changed diesel from petron to shell. The problem is that the engine loses power when the air con compressor kicks in. the accelerator feels stiff and stuck until i turn off the aircon. when i turn it off, the acceleration and power returns to normal. This happened for around 10 minutes or so then returned to normal again with the aircon on. I drove the car this morning and it ran fine, flat road or uphill. i was wondering what the problem is. any suggestions? thanks in advance.
