AC CAUSES OVERHEATING!!!
I have a 1993 Ford Thunderbird 5.0. When I run the A/C, it causes the car to overheat. When A/C is not on, can idle, drive in stop and go traffic, or freeway, never any heating problems. All cooling fluids fresh and at proper levels, yet A/C causes car to overheat. Help me please!! I really dont know what could be causing this. When it runs, it is very cold. It just cause the car to heat up and over heat very fast.
Thanks.

Hey. [:@]
Your air conditioner compressor draws more fluid from the engine blockto function correctly. This will happenat different times depending on the temp.out side. I have encountered this same situation and I recommend buying a 110* or a 120* degree thermostat so it will open sooner. If you have a 180* thermostat or higher, it can be extremely hard on your engine when your air conditioned kick in and over heats.Hope this helps.Singed birdlover[sm=americanasmiley.gif]
