Q: My car looses power everytime I start my ac. It almost dies whenever I turn the ac knob in the on possition.
Hi, I have a 300zx Twin Turbo. It has 99K miles and run perfectly as long as I do not turn my ac on. As soon as I turn my ac, it will make some squealing noise and the car looses power to the point where it almost dies. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
My car has a manual transmission.
