So I was trying to figure out a way to make a switch that would turn off the A/C in my car while accelerating. That made me think about the Civics that have this feature built in - the A/C only runs while the car is idling/coasting/decelerating. So I was wondering what other models out there also run this way. Any input? Do you guys know of any others? Also, what specific years of the Civics have this?

Thanks!
Woody
