many possible problems. could be aircon, could also be ur engine.

engine rpm dip slightly when aircon compressor kicks in is normal for most cars. but if dip is too much, could mean either aircon too "heavy" or engine lost power.

Aircon "heavy".. could be gas leak, compressor gone, pipe choked... is ur aircon still working fine? cold?

engine lost power... also many causes. try check/change ur engine air filter and spark plugs 1st..

if the wirings are OK ... see if installing a power pass helps ?

extract below:-

"The use of the aircon is a must for our climate but it saps power and torque. On cars without a sensitive aircon cut-off system during acceleration, it has been dyno proven that you lose about 10bhp and 15Nm of torque across the rpm. The xxx helps to increase the sensitivity on these car models by regaining the engineâ€™s power and torque.

It works well with models such as Lancer, Mazda, Hyundai, Kia, BMW etc. Cars with sensitive cut-off system will not feel any difference during standing starts even when the aircon is switched off."
