I just started noticing how hot the car was getting when I drive around with the AC on. It gets almost all the way up. I turn off teh AC and it goes back down, what is the deal?

What should I look into?

It looked like there was plenty of coolant in there.

Help. :Cry:

Check to make sure there is nothing blocking the radiator, leaves, dirt, etc how is the temperature when you drive it without using the ac, if it runs a little hot you might want to change the thermasta and flush the coolant system
