Default Free throttle response, cooling mod.

My car feels faster when I use the A/C.
Sounds strange but it does!
Throttle seems quicker to input, shifting waits a little longer, and the car runs a little cooler.
My "theory" is the ECU compensates for the drag of the compressor.

So I put a switch on the wire going to the A/C clutch. Then I switch on the A/C button. Of course I then get only outside air. The fan runs more, and it just seems crisper.

Placebo could be in full effect so please try it yourself.

Connector #106 is in the front of the ECU box. Pin #3 on the TOP half of the connector goes to the A/C clutch.

Excuse the giant ugly switch it's temporary until I FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET A WIRE THROUGH THE FIREWALL (hint,hint).

Maybe it's dumb, maybe it's good????
