Hey all, I have been floating around the boards since 2008 and never thought to post a question until now... I have a Protege5 with 86k. I recently replaced the r134a in the little car and since then I am having an RPM loss of 500rpms or higher when driving around town. So much so, that there...

My bad...just read the rules...I will repost this in the proper forum.

After reading through the forums I realized that it was not 'freon' but r134a. Anyways, I just went outside to try and reproduce the effects on a cool car, and the problem was not evident. So perhaps only happens once the car is hot and at 3k-rpms and higher.

Not to sound like a dummy in my first post. But could it be your belts slipping?
