need 411

sometimes when i start my car with the ac on it feels like its gonna shut off and it trembles a bit..............could that be cuz of the headers or the intake?

I've heard before with one and/or both of those mods cars lose low-end torque... that could also mean a lower idle no?

Dont know exactly what the A/C has to do with it, anyone?

i'd assume the AC is a factor of it since it's using lot of power when starting the car.

I know that when I have little gas in my car, it sounds like it is going to shutoff, but then again I heard that has to do with because our cars are low emission vehicles? My dad got me in the habit of turning off the AC every time when I get out of the car and stuff.......is there a real reason for this??

is your car doing this when you try to start it while it's still pretty warm, like it's only been shut off for a short time?

if so it's an ECU problem that Acura knows about but haven't fixed yet...

mike I talk to one of the mechanics here at work and they said not to worry about that all the cars do that even my car does that to. because the motor is big remember and try to have your a/c off before you start your car.

he also said it has nothing to do with your headers or intake.
