Air Conditioning causing engine to overheat
2001 Cavalier, 2 door, manual transmission-
On the highway I can use the air conditioning with everything normal.
When in town, stop and go driving, the engine temperature will climb also I hear a hissing sound coming through the vents and the air is not cool. I also hear a tick come from engine.
When the car comes to a stop it does this but when I drive the air conditioning will work (blow cold air), temp will stay up. It just does at stops.
Please help, thanks!
