Water runs out of it almost as soon as you put it in. The air runs real cold the suddenly it is blowing hot barely.

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.com.

When the engine overheats, the computer will shut down the AC to eliminate added drag from the engine. That is normal. However, the coolant issue and overheating is a problem.

The best thing to do is pressurize the cooling system when it is cool. Then, watch for where the leak is coming from.

Here is a link that shows how this is done:

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,
Joe
