Default AC on = Car Dies later

I have a boosted 96 Prelude, and whenver I have the AC on for 30-45 minutes straight while driving, all of a sudden it will feel like someone tied a rope around it and is pulling you back. You have no power and whenever you give it gas to try to go, it just dies. Then when you turn the AC off, the car starts back up and can be driven.

Anyone know what could be causing this problem?

I've never heard of it dying like that.
But I was going to say if it died at a stop adjust your idle because maybe it was too low..
But I'll search see if I can find anything.

Good luck.

None, thats the thing.

The car just slowly dies.

I was searching and someone on the Integra forum had the same problem.
Just that the car dies right away

Yeh I just read that but I'm still on stock manifold. Mine also doesn't happen when I depress the clutch but more right after I start to go from a light or stop.

Could be a bad idle air control valve or such?
