Engine Idle Speed Control System Genuine Ford air conditioning (either factory-installed or dealer-installed) has an engine idle speed control system that compensates for engine speed loss that may occur when the air conditioning compressor is running. This idle speed control holds the engine idle essentially constant, regardless of whether the air conditioning system is on or off. NOTE: Whenever service to the air conditioning system is required, make sure the service facility uses a refrigerant recycling system. These systems will capture the refrigerant for reuse. Releasing certain refrigerants into the atmosphere is hazardous to the environment. 55
