Overheating Issue ... Help Please.
Hi, I hope everyone is having a good weekend.
I am new to this forum as I just purchased a 1994 GT 5.0. I am more than happy to lend any knowledge I might have to anyone in need, but today I need some help with an issue if anyone can lend some feedback!
Like I said the car is a 5.0 but has been punched .40 over with an e303 cam, TRW pistons, headers, exhaust and H pipe. As far as I know that is all the mods.
My issue is that I can drive all day long with the car not overheating as long as I do NOT run the a/c. The second I turn the a/c on the car wants to jump in temperature, it rises in temperature quickly and within 4-5 minutes the car is overheating and dumping coolant all over the place out of the overflow tank.
A/C blows great, cold and everything. I just replaced the thermostat with and OEM one and flushed the radiator that by the way has no leaks what soever. Everything seems to be in good working order other than the fact that it overheats when I turn the a/c on.
Has anyone had this experience or have any advice to send my way? It would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
