Thanks for all the help provided on here. It's the best.

After the last time I laid hands on the car. It ran ok for a couple weeks till I recharged the a/c. While shaking the can I bumped the a/c tubes a couple times and immediately the car starting going in and out of overtemp mode.

I am so disgusted with it I have just been driving it that way. Annoying as hell when it acts up and the alarm goes off repeatedly. Sometimes turn the radio up to drown the sound.

The love affair is over with this car. I have been suffering from that damn alarm on and off for almost 2 years now. The dealership can't fix it (suprise) and neither can I. I'm just living (suffering) with it.
