It's just the accessories (alternator, A/C) putting load on the engine and the engine needing to catch up and compensate.
The later model cars had a more intelligent charging system that prefers to load the alternator and charge the battery when you're moving, would make sense that you experience less of these problems.
Other than that, if you keep your battery in good shape, I think you'll get fewer stumbles on the earlier cars. |
its weird because the battery was replaced but on the meter you can see it fluctuate between 14 V and 10 V. It's not really a problem, the car runs great and I love it. Just a little odd
