Default Jeep runs like crap when a/c is on
When I turn my a/c on in my 99 jeep 4cyl it has a really bad hesitation

What do you mean by hesitation? Like the throttle response isn't as good with the a/c on?

I thought every vehicle ran weak with ac on. The ac pump kicks on and adds more resistance to your belt in witch makes your motor work a bit harder. I got a little zx3 focus as my commuter and it turns from a decent little 4cy to what feels like a 3 cy metro

How crappy does it run? With ac, I notice a difference, but not much. If I get in it, the jeep still hauls sea
