Hi,

It's very warm around here today so I decided to turn on the A\C.
It wasn't blowing cold air at all when I saw my temp gauge to the top,
I stopped right away asap. That's when some prestone started to come out of the radiator cap. I said to myself oh well time to put some prestone in the radiator. It was clearly lacking prestone so i tough there ya go i solved the problem. Came back home and the tempature was very high again but the radiator cap didnt blow any prestone after I turned it off. The fan is working but it looks like it works only at low speed. What could it be? Stuck thermostat, air pocket ? or the motor was just too hot to cool after the first overheating ? (I remind you, it's very hot today outside)

Thanks!

This is on the 95? Confirm that the high speed fan comes on and stays on with the AC. It should also come on at 226*F.
