Alright, I've already replaced the radiator. But my celica still overheats when I turn on the A/C. Does anyone have any idea what the problem may be?

have you washed the bugs out of the condenser 7 out of 10 issues with ac / overheating is related to insuffecient airflow get a goooooood degreaser and spray the condenser down and wash it out also have you checked the coolant if theres and crusty looking goop in the radiator you'll need to do a system flush which i recomend doing any way if you haven't done it it keeps things nice n clean and a nice n clean engine is one that will go for 3000 million miles lol seriously though wash your condenser out i seen tooooo many cases where guys will buy high flow bada*s radiators to try n fix a overheating issue when all it was well was dragon flys n bumble bees over the years blocking off airflow through the radiator

i know your a bright person so im going to spare the "check your fluids" speach. maybe you could check to make sure the thermostat is opening up, that could be your problem, cuz youd still be getting cold air, but putting way too much strain on the engine without pumping the coolant through your head.
--------------------  The question is not how far. The question is, do you possess the constitution, the depth of faith, to go as far as is needed? |

Well, I've cleaned out the condenser... I don't think that was it
 . Next I'm going to check the thermostat. But I think it's the head gasket.

alright... the thermostat IS working properly... the water pump is working just fine... the condenser is clean... the radiator is new...
What else could it be? |
