When I turn on the heater or the ac I loose power every few seconds. The volts drop in between the O and R in NORMAL, the car drops about 100 rpms, and the headlights dim. Once it does this everything goes back to normal for a few seconds before it does it again. When Im at a stop light I have turn the heater off or the car dies. Ive checked the fuses and they are fine. Dont know what to do after that.
Also the low coolant light keeps coming on. I checked the overflow bottle and the coolant is just above the hot mark. The car runs fine(when the ac/heater is off) and i have no overheating issues. Dont know if I just need to flush the radiator and that would get rid of the problem or if I need to do something else.
The car has also started ticking. I thought I got some bad gas so i changed gas stations and added some fuel system cleaner. The ticking is still there. Ive been running 93 octane. My friend said if it was from bad gas it would be more of a pinging sound not a ticking sound. The sound is always there as soon as I start the car and gets louder as speed increases.
Thanks in advance for any help. Really appreciate it.
