the only time my car overheats is when its sitting in park and the air conditoning is on why is that?....also my brakes lock up easily but its always just one of the tires..i'm assuming it has something to do with the abs what do u guys think is wrong and will it be expensive?

The overheating could be one of a few things. The one that would make the most sense is inproper radiator cooling fan operation(s). Can you hear the fan(s) come on when the A/C is selected? I'd start there. Additionally, when was the last time it was drained and backflushed. Regardless, once the issue is resolved, do so.

The brakes, sounds like it would be a good old fashion sticky caliper, your ABS light should be going off a little to tell you which wheel is locking while the rest aren't, however you should already know by which way the car is diving.

:iagree: .....either a sticky caliper or a dirty ABS sensor, mostlikely the caliper.

here's the deal with the brakes when u hit the brakes it will pull to one side or the other then if u let off the brakes and then apply them it will either fix itself or pull to the other side

That's a pretty staright up classic stuck caliper, replace both sides and while you're at the hoses.

And make shure you bleed the brakes really good too.
And clean the ABS sensors for each brake...
