Car heats up fast ONLY when a/c is on.

my car at highway temps will be at 180-190 at most (even in AZ heat)

once I turn the a/c on, it sky rockets up to 220-250.

I don't think this is normal, my car will sputter and freak out on surface streets at this temp.

bad t-stat? my high fans kick on at 185.

unsure if other people have this problem, or no.

help? thanks!

Re: Car heats up fast ONLY when a/c is on.

are you sure that the fans are coming on whe the AC is on? are you sure that there are no bags sucked up infront of the radiator?

I've double checked and both fans are kicked on and no bags/trash is in my radiator.
