Default Is this normal (AC changes from dash to floor vents under mild acceleration)

I've seen the option in EFILive to disable the AC at a given RPM/TPS setting, but I didn't see one that really matches what I'm seeing.

Occasionally, under mild acceleration (30-50% throttle) my A/C will divert from the dash vents to the floor vents for a few seconds, even though I'm set to "Max AC". It's not a big deal if it's supposed to work that way - but if it's a symptom of something else bad then I'd prefer to fix it.

Anyone have a clue as to how to troubleshoot this?

This is the only wierdness I've got with the climate control (so far) - I don't think I'm getting the same thing you're getting, CULATR.
