why does a 2003 z0-6 run 45 degrees hotter than normal operating when the air conditioner is on driving around town, cools off in same conditions when air is turned off.

Reason: add over heating concern
mine runs the same temp when moving air on or off - I'm at 186 with the thermostat I'm running.
it is actually cooler when in traffic with the air on because one fan is running, instead of reaching the fan turn on temp (mine are set at 195).
I have run my AC to keep my car cool in traffic. Not that it overheats but I dislike the factory temp for the fans. I'm no guru but if your car is overheating with the AC then something most likely is wrong.
