I have a Dogde intrepid 99,2.7, V6, DOHC. The problem is that in summer time (only hot wheather) the tempeture gets high when I turn the AC on. I change the fans, thermostat, I clean the radiator, flush and fill the system and I change the temp. sensor. Besides that the AC speed regulator it gets burn when I turn the AC on. So I need to step on the gas pedal to feel the cool air on me. What do you think is the problem?

You have done everything for the temp. Make sure the fans come on. If they do, watch to make sure the engine cools when they come on. If it doesn't check hoses to make sure none are collapsing. Make sure coolant is full too. (only open the radiator when the engine is cold).
