Solved:My Car Speed Reduces Whenever I Switch On The AC by lwise(op): 12:03pm On Apr 06, 2019
Wao,I'm relieved,all the change engine,change Tyre,change battery gang,I finally got the solution.

I got a mechanics contact who finally solve the problem :

1. He changed the fuel pump
2. Cleaned the air filter and the Idle Air Control Valve (IACV).
3. 2 plugs were bad,he changed them too
4. We discovered that the coils have cracks on its body,he advise I buy new one instead of tokunbo.I bought 4 and replace the old ones.

The car drives smoothly now even with the AC.

I can't imagine driving in this hot weather without AC.Thanks to the nairalander that gave the mechanics number.
