Ok, I was on my way home from the mall with the a/c on..car felt a little sluggish because the a/c was on which was expected BUT when I got off the free way I was driving in around 2/3rd gear and when I got up to around 2,000 rpm the car felt ALMOST like it was going to die. The rpms started dropping the only way I was able to keep the car moving was to keep it in 2nd gear and when I felt the car start bogging..was push the clutch and let the rpms drop below 2,000 and start driving and keep doing that till I got home...the idle is still normal and it turns off and on fine..just when I start driving is when that happens..any ideas? Also, my car is throwing a code that says I am running lean.not sure if that is related, because at idle my car is still fine and doesn't feel as if it was going to die..need help a.s.a.p..need car for work on monday! Thanks for all the help!!

With my a/c on, my rpm drops really fast when i hit my clutch. Faster than w/ out the a/c on to about 500 rpm. But since ur car is running lean, it could probably making u situation worse. Maybe ur injectors are clogged, try running some injector cleaner like one bottle a tank of gass

 

when was the last time u had your ignition system checked/replaced i had a similer problem with my car simply bogging at about 2.5k, which was resolved to be a gremlen in my rotor.

 

I put a cleaner in my tank almost every time I fill up..normally use the Lucas cleaner and it works pretty well...but the weird thing is..I told a mechanic about my problem and he said it might be the heat??? and to let it cool down a little, so I let it sit for about an hour and sure enough...it started up fine with no bogging...is it possible that since my a/c is messed up that affect the drivability of the car?
