    What problems? What have you done so far? Does it only raise with the a/c on? Are your fans kicking on? When you turn your a/c to max both fans should come on.

    You also must have the airdam under the nose of the car to force air up into the radiator. It's the thing that always scrapes the ground on driveways.

    There was a guy here who had his heater hoses connected incorrectly at the water pump and his car overheated. He had the top hose connected to the bottom fitting and the bottom hose connected to the top fitting.

    How old is the thermostat? You could have a clogged radiator. What temp does it go to?

    Check the belt tension. The only thing I can point at is that your condenser fan isnt coming on.

    I installed an aftermarket guage and I think it is a result of a change in current flow from the sensor. I turn my AC on and it jumps up 10 - 15 degrees, turn it off and it immediatley goes back dow, It is not the result of the AC itself IMHO.

    Maybe this will help.

    there ya go,
    If you are looing coolant....

    btw I paid attention to mine yesterday and it is actually a 20 degree jump the instant I turn the AC switch on. That tells me it is an amperage fluctuation. If you want to see the actual temp turn the AC off and then flip it back on.
