Subject:AC Question
From:John Rodgers
Date:Wed, 25 Jul 2001 22:45:22 -0500

I finally got my engine idle, and idle stabilizer valve to co-operate
and can now run my airconditioner with the engine at idle, and the
engine idle speed stays fairly normal for AC operation...ie, 1100 to
1200 rpm. However, fans are running all over the place.

With the AC on, I can hear a radiator cooling fan running. The fan runs
al the time as long as the AC is turned on....it never shuts off a best
I can tell, except when the AC is turned off. If the engine idles very
long at all with the AC turned on, the high speed cooling fan turns on
then cycles back off after a bit.

Is this normal operation for both fan speeds when the AC is turned on?

Thanks for  any input.
