This morning I needed to use my defrost and given the problem of the misfire with my engine, when I turned it on it really put a strain on my engine. Today I was talking with a co worker who suggested: "The strain may be from the AC compressor, which runs in the defrost mode. Try disconnecting the wire to the clutch on the comp and see if that helps." Does this sound right? If so how would I disconnect this on a 1998 Ford Taurus SE station wagon with a 3.0 OHV engine 6 cylinder. Would doing this help take some of the strain off the engine and provide me with defrost?
