For sure it's not the A/C -- when that engages, the clutch is quite loud and there's a considerable loss of available power. I've tested the situation with any possible heat/air in the off position and the air selector to "vent". It requires the A/C button to be engaged as well. I tried the A/C during this condition and it was more pronounced than the mystery condition.
