Noticed this problem as soon as I picked my Explorer up, but it's never really bothered me because it hasn't been this hot yet. Its probably 100+ with the sun out, temp reading about 95-98.
When I'm driving, my AC is ICE cold. Almost too cold to keep on full blast, but I am definitely not complaining about that. When I stop, or even start the car to get the AC going to cool these HOT black leather seats off, the AC is just barely cold at best. Almost as if I need to recharge it, but as soon as I start moving, ICE cold.
I watch my intake temps and coolant temp on my iPad with the DashCommand app, I'm consistently around 188-198 which seems normal, or at least that's what it's been since I bought the X.
Right now I'm parked at work, AC on, and coolant is at 196 the AC is keeping up, but the engine is idling at 1k. It's only done this when I have the AC on, not sure if it's some kind of feature? But if the RPMs dropped to the normal 650ish my AC would make me not able to sit in here.
The last few cars I've had have all had electric fans, is this just "normal" operation with an engine driven fan? If so, my e-fan conversion just jumped to the top of my priority list.
