Are you the same person who posted about A/C problems before, or do we
have a trend here?  Check the A/C refrigerant level first -- I believe that
low refrigerant can cause the compressor to work harder.  The compressor
itself would be my next guess.  Also could be the ECU-- it seems to
compensate for the A/C load by increasing the idle speed, and if that doesn't
happen, I'd guess it would be real hard to accelerate from idle.
