check ur purge hose 2, its under ur engine cover on the bottom/under side of the throttle body (you may need a torch) It comes off the bottom of the throttle body itself and has a 90 degree bend and then another piece joins into it somtimes if this is cracked or not sittin on properly it can give u a rough ride also, do it at the same time u check or change ur leads

Not really sure what you are on about however every car i know loses power when the ac is on it is particularly noticable in smaller cars due to the the power lost by running the compressor.
I used to turn the ac off to overtake etc when i drove a 4 banger.
If you car does not have as much power when the ac is on you do not have a problem its just common sense.

Those split system house air-cons use 2 - 8 hp to run... now keep in mind that although in the car its a smaller compressor. It probably does use something within that range to run. Car Air-Cons are very effective sometimes moreso than house air-cons so take your mates car for a drive with air-con driving and see if it also loses as much power. Most cars have this problem.

I think my car got similar symtoms like yours. The car shake under acceleration and it is very noticable when driving above 80kph. I am not sure if I should change the leads. let me know how you fix the problem. all the best and happy new year to everyone.
