Bernd,negative on the defroster being on.But there is a "sapping" effect
that is similar to the compressor cycling on/off.But this is much more
rapid (feels like you`re driving over small bumps in the road) and
probably ten times more severe,as far as affecting performance and
driveability.Almost got me hit head-on when I went to pass a Ford
Perspire! Now that was a humbling experience! I also can see it on the
tach when it stumbles or misses.Tach does not climb smoothly during
acceleration.But no,the a/c only causes a little bit of power loss when
my Dak is running A-OK. Thanks,Steve P.
