| i have fiat palio 1.4 , whenever i turn on the air conditioner , i feel that the engine power is droped , the acceleration is decreased , why is this ??!! Also , once the air conditioner is on , the RPM is slightly decreased ( normaly it is at 800 , when air conditioner is on it falls down to 700 or even lower ) another question , the spark plugs are now working for 37000 km , does this has any relation to the situation of the air conditioner ?? cuz the decrease in the acceleration is more obvious the last 7000 - 8000 km ? is ther any solution to restore the normal acceleration of the car ?

what do you think of that ?? also should i change the spark plugs or can they continue more millage ? and do they have any relation to the air conditioner ? why the air conditioner takes that power from the engine , is it electrical reason ( drop in the spark intensity ) or just mechanical ??!!

| Forum Moderator | Re: when i turn on the air cinditioner,the acceleration decreases,RPM falls,why? mechanical....its connected via belt to crank pulley.....you dont notice it on large engine cars but do on smaller engines. Change plugs every 2 years or 24K miles,they are cheap anyway so no harm in changing them,check HT lleads aswell.

| Re: when i turn on the air cinditioner,the acceleration decreases,RPM falls,why? first of all , thanks a lot for you help . yeah ,got it , also the belt is changed at 40000 km , but i thought it might have a relation to the electric system , anyway , what should i do now to restore the lost performance ? the air filter is clean , should i change the spark wires with sport ones or they won't make a difference ? i've never changed them , the installed are the factory wires . any other ideas to increase the acceleration ?

| Re: when i turn on the air cinditioner,the acceleration decreases,RPM falls,why? yup, dont use the aircon. it uses alot of power on small engines. other than that nothing you can do.

| It's solved the decrease in acceleration : the air filter is changed by a new one , the acceleration increased obviously . the drop in RPM : i went to the service center , they told me that there is oxygen sensor ( or something like that ) needs to be cleaned , they cleaned it by using carbeurator cleaner spray , now when i turn on the A/C the RPM increases to compensate the effect of the A/C . one more thing , they said that i have to change the spark plugs to increase the acceleration & to improve the fuel consumption , when i have them changed i will tell you the results ![]()

| Re: when i turn on the air cinditioner,the acceleration decreases,RPM falls,why? The RPM dropping is a clear sign that the air intake was blocked, this usually has an effect that when you turn on the AC , the load on the engine increases and thereby acceleration / pickup decreases! however, the RPM increases. The o2 sensor is connected to the ECU that controls the amount of air that is let into the engine during compression.

| Re: when i turn on the air cinditioner,the acceleration decreases,RPM falls,why? Congratiulations , Let us know whats up when u change the plugs . BTW notice , that this Forum is British , and there's No Palio/Sienna/Albea in the UK .. so most users lurking here are far far away from the UK .. thats why its not so ... alive .
