I have a 1990 Toyota Camry. Recently i took a road trip and ever since my caar will run very slowly whenever I turn on the air conditioner. I almost will have to floor the gas pedal just to get it going after being stopped at a stop light. ---

One possibility is that your A/C compressor is binding up, and making it very difficult for the serpentine belt to turn the compressor. You should get this checked before it seizes up totally. ---

Is it still cooling down the interior as well as it used to do? My understanding is that the coolant is also the lubricant. If you’ve got a leak, then it won’t cool, and the compressor could have more trouble turning. ---
