Engine Power Problems
i drive a 94 4 Cyl mx3 and it seems like whenever i turn on my air conditioning, my engine loses a ton of power, like to the point of when i start to drive from a complete stop its hard to go without almost stalling or my car will barely accelerate at all. And even if i turn it off my car will start acting up for a while, for instance the throttle will feel really loose, along with some other things. Has anyone else had this problem?

Power loss with A/C use is normal.. however.. stalling out (or almost stalling) is probably an indicator that you need to clean your throttle body & reset your idle and/or run some fuel injector cleaner through your next couple of tanks of gas. Hope this helps

Darcy i don't think that there is a such thing as a 105 hp 1.6 for a mx3...atleast what was shipped to the U.S. mine is a 1.6 DOHC and i am running only 88....all ive seen was the 88 horse 1.6 and the 130 1.8

Darcy is correct. 94+ Year RS MX-3's recieved a DOHC 1.6 that puts out 105 BHP. 92-93 model years had the SOHC 1.6 which only put out 88 BHP.
