;) Hey I hear you. I see no big advantage to having the air on durring defrost. The old fashioned way works fine. Is there a way to eliminate it from the auto mode on an 92 es 300 ? lso I have seen posts that not running thr comp for a month or more can hurt the compresor? Thanks On my 92 LS400 I added a 2700 ohm resistor in series with the OAT sensor so that below about 45F the ECU "thought" the OAT was below freezing and disabled the AC compressor entirely. I also have a switch mounted near my left knee that adds a small resistance, 200 ohms, to the cabin temperature sensor. Just before engaging the defrost/defog/demist function I flip the switch, the ECU "thinks" the cabin has just gotten COLD resulting in a HIGH volume of HOT airflow to the windshield. :( sounds lke you know your stuff. Way over my head. I think I'll just unplug the comp for now. Thanks

I believe what you say about the evap not drying off. everything seems to be ok. The smell is not bad either. The problem may be in the automatic heat / cool system. Whenever you have it in automatic the air con is running. My daughter uses the car and doesn't bother to turn it off. So the air is on even in the winter cold weather with the heater running. I unplugged the comp and the problem goes away. Will this hurt to leave the comp disconnected till the need for air> Maybe 2-3 months. Or is there a way to turn off the automatic mode. I believe it will improve gas milage too. Thanks

I have a strange problem with my 92 es. I thought the heater core was leaking because i get a steam bath in the car. But that didn't help. I checked the drain hose and that was clear. The only we can use the car is to run with the air on. That seems to be a waste of gas. The other option is to unplug the air. That clears everything up. Any ideas? Could the evap be too dirty?
