Cooling Problems
So the story goes...
The engine temps are perfectly fine during normal daily driving for the past year, but once I turn on the A/C the car starts to get warm. I didn't think anything of it, maybe just a bad thermostat or radiator cap, until yesterday. I got on the interstate to drive a friend to pickup a car. Well after about 5 min of interstate driving the car started to get hot so I blasted the heater and tried to stay out from behind cars which helped keep the temps down until I got where I was going.
Go home yesterday and bought a new thermostat to put in the car. Opened it up to find that there was no thermostat...so I put it in there and sealed it up. Topped of the fluids then went to drive the car, didn't make it a block before the car started to overheat.
What could cause this? Could it be a head gasket although the temps are fine during normal driving? Clogged radiator? I'm stumped.
Car has a stock Ka24de.
