pearlm30 Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 When I don't use the AC, the temp gauge is about 1/3, with AC, it shoots up to Red. Anyone please help Thanks 91 loyale wagon 4wd 5 speed with 160,xxx miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubaRube Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Is it overheating at idle or while cruising at speed? How fast does it "shoot up to red"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pearlm30 Posted August 20, 2004 Author Share Posted August 20, 2004 When it idles with AC on, it soon gets up to red pretty fast( does the fan suppose to come on? I did not hear any fan), if I drive the car a little on highway, the temp will come down a little, but still in upper range. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubaRube Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 The fan should be coming on. Probably a bad thermo switch. It's common on our cars. I gotta go , but someone else will be with you shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
