1999 Ford Taurus idles roughly, but only when I switch the fan to anything other than OFF. Feels like engine is surging, then sluggish when fan/vent is placed anywhere but OFF selection. {Car had AC years ago but not working for last 3+ yrs). Same sluggish action happens when driving (not just at idle), but RPM changes are less noticable at full speed.
