Just got an 850 with 2 litre 20 valve engine. which i am more than happy
with. The only thing that confuses me is that without the aircon on the
engine runs fine. With the aircon switched on the engine feels like it's
missing and holding back on acceleration.. Any ideas? the car is still under
warranty so if it;s a problem, it's going back asap!

You may well feel the engine is more sluggish with the a/c on, this is
normal, though if it is excessive then you are probably short on gas.

The engine should not be mis-firing though.

The car seems more sluggish than it should be but the petrol tank is about
half full.
