Your thermostat is stuck open. Buy a new one they are usually really cheap and you can usually repair it yourself. They are easy to get to even in compact engine space.

Why would your car shake when you are idling and have the AC on but not when you are driving?
spark plug gap Can also be a vacuum leak.
1996 Jeep Cherokee It only overheats with the air conditioner ON and IDLING. after normal driving it cools to normal temperature after resuming driving speed. Replaced the radiator cap thermo etc..?
The cooling fan should run continuously when the A/C is on. See if it is running, and if not check the fuse, and thermal relay. If they are good, see if the fan motor itself it good. If all this checks out, the drain and flush the radiator with a chemical flush. Also make sure the front of the radiator is free of debris.

Most likely it is a belt on your car. Usually the squeeling is from a loose belt while idling and will also make noises while driving.

Why a Nissan Xterra overheats when driven up a hill?
Often this happens when a tune up hasn't been done on the car in a long time. It also may happen when one of the cylinders misfires or when the engine overheats.
Ive replaced the thermostat water pump and flushed the radiator on my 96 Chevy lumina and now it jumps from 125 to 260 while im driving It also overheats while im driving.?
You may have the problem of your intake manifold gaskets. They are a problems on the lumina. I had to have mine replaced due to the same thing. Also check if your coolant is mixing with your oil if it is. Than it is definitally your intake manifold gasket.
