my 1988 has always done it . also does it when the headlights, park lights or even the cig lighter is used. think it does it to prevent the motor from idleling to low when a load is put on the alternator and charging system. have had 3 carburated festivas and all them have done it.1960 willys pickup

What rpm's are you referring to, the fan or the engine?
The engine is supposed to speed up when you turn on the headlights.
My '89 does.
The fan is supposed to speed up when you turn the knob but I don't know if that happens when there is an air conditioner as I don't have one.
