Texas heat - are you guys feeling power loss?
I don't recall this ever being this bad before, but my car is old with alot of miles. '03 with 100,000miles 5AT with original clutch fan.
With this crazy summer heat (90+deg), I'm getting some power loss or specifically lag from a stop....and pretty much only when I have my a/c on. It feels like the first half of the throttle application is doing nothing. Only when I dig into the pedal will it pop the tranny down and move.
Otherwise, I drove around when it was cooler (below 85deg, before lunch and later in evening) without the a/c and I get really good and normal power delivery from stops just like I would otherwise.
Are you guys feeling the same thing in Texas or is there something with my car?

So what does "e only had my G for a month now" mean, spelling ****?
Don't be the pot calling the kettle black. After ~ 25,000 posts, I think ttrank knows what he's saying. BTW, if you haven't checked out his car, you should. Sickest G on this site.
Back OT, I replaced a JWT with my revup airbox, and the motor runs so much better. Too damn hot here in Texas for an open air filter.

There seems to be a few more people following that one.
