It is that time of the year for A/C.
I used it yesterday for the first time this year. After 5 mins of driving with it on med speed, the engine started getting real hot, or at least the temp gauge said so. I shut off the A/C and the needle dropped.
I have a thermostat problem to begin with, temp goes way up before it will open. Engine cools down rapidly once it opens.
Are these 2 things connected?
A/C does blow very cold air, and fans run perfect. All vents work fine, blend door is fine. Compressor is not fast idling. I am fine on antifreeze. Engine fan seems to be working, but I cant tell while driving. I hear it upon start up only.
