I have never had this happen to me.

Hrm, you have a '00 Focus, is that the 2.3L engine? Mine's an '05 and got the 2.0L mouse motor in it, so I'd just assumed that they set things up to give a decent amount of acceleration off the line without it getting bogged down trying to keep the A/C running.

I've also got a 2000 zx3, its with the 2.0 Zetec. I also never had this happen to mine. Unless its new for the 05's

Back in the year 2000, nothing was automatic. If it was hot outside and you wanted more power you had to press the button that was illuminated by the little blue light and the letters 'A' and 'C'. Presto! Instant power. :P
