Re: Elevating RPMS Culprit found?



Ok, sounds right.  It works that way, when selector is in a blue climate 
control.  What I was saying, was that if I have the upper lever on regular 
air to my feet, but have the lower adjuster all the way to the left (blue) 
the idle doesn't drop because teh AC isn't on.  We are saying the samething 
I think.
