Thanks for getting back to me Rick,
I'm not to worried about the Air conditioning dropping down 50 RPM, It's
just that the rear defroster drops it down a little over a 100 RPM. I just
talked to the dealer about my concern and he said this is normal, as did
their mechanic (of course they all do :-) Did your friend have a Mercury
Mystique?
TA
