My car runs very hot only if the air is on and the car is moving. If I idle the car leaving the air on it will cool down. If it starts to overheats I turn the air off for 5 minutesit cools down allowing me to turn the air back on for another 10 or 20 miles. The system has been flushed ,thermostat changed., pressure checked, no apparent slippage from belt and no loss of coolant
