Does anyone know if it's supposed to do that? Thanks! -- Scott As strange as it may seem, that is an intentional design feature for at least the early SVT Contours. Mine does it too. I remember reading either a TSB or a SSM (special service message) about this when mine was two or three years old. It is a performance intended design feature to provide better acceleration from a stop with the A/C on. The A/C clutch engages again at something like 5 mph. No, this is not a normal Ford design feature. Jim Johnson 98 SVT 03 Escape Limited
