Hello, I have a 2002 GT and I'm having an issue ever since I started my 2,400 mile move to Texas. It started overheating half ways to Texas and I stopped at a shop that I forget the name. They changed the thermostat and fixed some bolt that they broke. I left and continued to overheat so I ended up going back a total of 3 times until he told me that I should replace the entire AC. He told me this because it ONLY overheats when I have the AC on and am going slow or at a stop. If I'm going at a steady pace above 35 it doesn't do this. And ever since it overheated the first time, it's made sort of like a whistling sound when I accelerate.
So I end up changing the AC compressor because he also mentioned this, and that did not work. Well today, I changed the water pump and it still does it! So can it be the radiator, or what other problem could it be? Anyone that has had this issue and fixed it?
I don't know anyone here and I'm sick of going from mechanic to mechanic here for them to just tell me to put water in it. Obviously that isn't the problem because this would have been done and over with. I'm seriously dying in this Texas heat.. And dread using my baby to get around! Please help!!
