Removing components: Hot start assist, sub-zero assist, AC Throttle opener
Removing components: Hot start assist, sub-zero assist, AC Throttle opener
From other threads it appers there are no ill effects to remove the hot start assist and the sub-zero starting assist. Any known issue with removing the AC throttle opener.
The AC has never worked for the past 21 years.

The A/C opener is weird, there's actually a control algorithm and not just a simple on/off function.
My refrigerant is a little low and my idle is a little high, and I adjusted the opener to have neutral idle change with a full refrigerant charge and 250-300psi high side pressure. With a slightly low charge, the idle can creep up over 1200 or so at which point it disengages... then the idle drops and it re-engages. Feels like a 90s Honda with air in the cooling system. I know it isn't lean surge because the accelerator pedal raises and drops.
On the other hand, with a full charge the car overheats on the highway, so I'll accept surging idle and only 50F outlet temps vs having to turn the A/C off when the coolant temp gets over 230.
