The customer may complain that the A/C systems performs poorly during hard acceleration.

According to Acura, this may be a normal characteristic of the vehicle. In order to kick up acceleration and passing performance, the ECM/PCM cuts off the A/C compressor at or near wide open throttle.

Tell your lead-foot customer that no A/C repairs are needed.
