Subject: A/C COMPRESSOR LOADING IN DEFROST MODE ON FOUR CYLINDER ENGINES - 1982-83 CELEBRITYS, CITATIONS AND CAVALIERS

A/C CIRCUIT:




TO: ALL CHEVROLET DEALERS


Low engine idle speed and rough idle can be caused by high A/C compressor 8 Cloads due to high head pressures resulting from compressor operation without engine cooling fan operation while in defrost mode.

This condition can be corrected by installing an additional engine cooling fan relay (see diagram) to operate the engine cooling fan in defrost mode.

The relay should be installed on the cowl, adjacent to the pressure cycling switch. Any wiring run through the cowl should be routed through existing grommets and care be taken to maintain cowl sealing.
