transmission or engine pulsations?

[Casper]

Im running into this situation where the car has a engine/tranny power drop in power ever six seconds and then the power comes back and it does it constantly. Its just annoying to me to feel it but the dealership said that they couldnt duplicate it...although i got right back in the car to drive home and it did it.

its best felt under unaccelerated driving on level roads...

any ideas?

Sounds like the typical RPM change when the AC is on.

My Subaru Impreza and 4Runner both do what you describe, it's the AC...

POWER LOSS WITH AC

Well he can do whatever he wants to the dealers ass but there's nothing to fix if it's caused by the AC. So the 10 million dollar question is..... Does the problem go away when the AC is off? If so, then it's the AC. It's normal and quite common, trust me.
