I drive a 1996 Honda Accord coupe. I've had problems with the car overheating before, but those don't seem like issue anymore as I am able to drive the car for as long as I want, as long as the AC is off. When I drive with the ac on, after about 10-15 minutes, my car starts to overheat. Again, its only when the ac is on, and only when the car is idling ( red light, traffic ) As i'm waiting to start driving again, the temperature gauge shows that everything is running fine. But then when I start driving, it shoots up a little. And I noticed that it happens as soon as I rev the engine, with even the slightest press on the gas. I've searched everywhere for a solution but cant find one. Hopefully I can find one here. Please, this Florida weather is a KILLER if you cant put the ac on.
