Hi,

My car is over heating occassionally. When the atmosphere temperature is above 35 degrees Celcius (I live in the Caribbean), the a/c stops blowing cold air and the car starts to over heat when at stand still. Once you start driving the a/c will start blowing cold air again and the engine temperature returns to normal. Also when the car in over heating, if you take off the a/c, the engine temperature cools down to normal as well.

What is causing this situation?
