temp getting to 3/4 ?

I got a '00 EX and it blew the radiator. Changed the thermostat/radiator but now it still is getting to 3/4 the way up on the temp gauge but its only doing it with the AC on? Fan seems to be functioning properly and I doubt I have vapor lock. Any ideas to what could be causing all these issues?? thx

Has your car been going through coolant?

I haven't noticed it using any. Hoping it's not head gasket.

Does the fan run?

Is the radiator FULL of antifreeze, 50/50 mix?


An overheat event can damage the head gasket. It might not be obvious right away either.
