So i went on a small road trip today and thought i would finally use my AC. cranked it on and like 5 minutes later i notice that im about to severly overheat. I turned it off and switched to heat to help cool it off. worked fine. then after that i notice when I keep my RPMs high i start to over heat as well- heat goes back on. any idea what might be causing this? I thought it might be the thermostat sticking closed or something... really weird that the AC would cause it too tho

You might notice that your power diminishes as you turn on the AC. Overheat may be caused by a few factors - bad thermostat, clogged radiator/hoses, bad head gasket. Turning on AC worsens one of the above conditions. |
