93 ford escort overheating
i bought a 93 ford escort for my girlfriend about 2 weeks ago. the guy i bought it from said it would overheat after 10-20 minutes from starting it. he said he wasnt sure the reason why it overheated, but he said when the a/c is turned on, the electric fan by the radiator turns on and the temperature gauge returns to normal. but as soon as you turn off the a/c, the fan turns off and soon the temp gauge rises. i thought it sounded funny since the a/c would make the engine overheat faster. but he was right, it starts to overheat and i turn on the a/c and the temperature goes down. what would cause this? thermostat? bad sensor? i am going to take it to my mechanic, but if its the thermostat, i can change that easy enough
 ...i think.any thoughts? -Brian

Re: 93 ford escort overheating
bad thermostat
the fan probably automatically goes on when the AC is on, but only when the thermostat tells it to when its off.
