Ugh. Whhhy?! Some misc problems. Help!
So I'm back yet again. I have some simple problems that I hope y'all can shed some light on.
1) When cruising, my A/C is great though I do wish it'd blow harder but once I idle or slow down, the car starts to overheat and the a/c gets hot. I've checked freon, it's fine. I was also told to upgrade the radiator and with a Fluidyne, it still does it. All cooling components have been changed so what now? Should the electric fan be spinning while the A/C is on? If so, then that could be the reason. What wires would I hook up so that it spins when the a/c is on if that is necessary?
2) With the A/C on, if I start my car, it'll die instantly unless I give it a few revs. I just installed an aeromotive FPR and when I hooked up the fuel pressure gauge, I noticed the fuel pressure rose a bit slowly. is this normal on a car starting up or is my pump taking a ****? Recommendations on pumps if so? This car will be turbo 347 powered soon.
3) I recently went to the local GLAMIS Statis desert party that they hold here in AZ at Speedworld and during the sand dune drags, I hit a big *** dip and broke a big *** hole in my x-pipe. Joy. So, I need a cheap but great replacement, preferably with cats. Any recommendations there?
Thanks in advance! Also, Adder, I expect an answer from you for every one of these if you want my mod blessings. :P

a/c on the electric fan should be running. Did not come with electric fan so what kind of control do you have to initiate fan? A/C power to relay to fan. Low vacum signal to FPR will make pressure rise.Normal.

to the a/c mech clutch fan has been removed and car sports an elec fan??? if so on most cars the fan is wired to run with the a/c on or it is tapped into a a/c high pressure switch , iirc the mustang fox only has a low pressure switch since it runs a mech fam from the factory so wiring it to run when a/c is on is your only option

1) I'd suggest getting a flex-a-lite controller for the fan. It'll let you control the fan in many different ways.
2) I'd look at cleaning the IAC. Also, the flex-a-lite controller doesn't hit the electrical sys. hard with a instant on load. I'm sure it'll help there too.
3) "Cheap but great" Well, low cost and quality don't usually go together. You'll have to decide whats best for you.
