If the engine temperature gauge goes to hot and the cooloing fans work and the radiator fluid is fine and the only way to bring the temperature back to normal is to turn on the AC what could be wrong?

it may be your thermostat or water pump is it over heating with steam comming out ?

Why does the engine temperature rise when the car idles?
Engine temperature rising when the engine is idling is normal. The car is sitting still and no air is entering the engine compartment. This will cause the engine temperature to rise. The cooling fans then come on and the engine returns to a normal temperature. Unless the cooling fans do not bring the temperature down, you have no problems and this is totally normal.
Engine temperature gauge reads high then normal?
i just put in a new radiator and now temperature gauge reads high but their are no leaks
Why does engine coolant overflow but the temperature is normal?
In all probability you either have a bad radiator cap or an air lock.
Why is there no pressure in the upper radiator hose?
If the engine is cool or cold, this is normal. If the engine is normal operating temperature, then possibly the thermostat is jammed/stuck, an air lock maybe or a blown head gasket. You may have a faulty radiator cap also or the coolant could be too low.
How do you check a radiator to see if it's working correctly?
With engine cool - remove radiator cap Run engine to normal operating temperature and try to observe coolant flow inside radiator - should be little to no flow until thermostat opens and then full circulation should be observed.
Why is the top radiator hose hotter than the lower Is it normal for the top hose to be two to three times hotter?
The coolant comes from the engine at it's hottest through the top radiator hose, cooling as it goes lower and lower in the radiator until it comes out the bottom radiator hose at it's coolest temperature and back into the engine.
On 1991 Corvette the Temperature Gauge runs good during normal operations but at idle the temperature rises is this normal?
A minor increase is normal - however if excessive check:Cooling fan working?Radiator clogged or plugged?Air flow to radiator restricted?Bad radiator cap?
What is the normal operating temperature of a Ford Model A engine?
160 TO 180 degrees. should be the norm 1928/29 will run hotter that the 30/31 due to radiator size .30/31 radiator is larger
How could you tell if the radiator is clogged or if the thermostat is stuck or if the gasket is blown?
Run engine to normal operating temperature witout radiator cap Observe coolant circulation If coolant blows out of radiator - could be a stuck thermostat If no circulation could be a bad water pump
New rad new themo new hoses why is the top rad hose hot bottom hose cool?
On my 4.0 L OHV engine the top rad hose gets hot when the thermostat opens , and the bottom hose from the radiator returning to the water pump is much cooler because of the heat given off by the air movement through the radiator reducing the temperature of your coolant. Once your engine is warmed up , as long as your temperature gauge works and displays that the engine temperature is in the normal operating range , that's normal.
What is the normal operating temperature of an engine?
the normal operating temperature for cars is around 190 degrees.
What is the normal engine temperature for a semi?
160 to 185 degrees F is normal running temperature.
