my fiance has a 96 lexus es 300 and when your sitting at a red light while the A/C is on for about 2-3 minutes , her car starts to overheat and its not losing any water soo what could this be , and i know this is civic forum but i just need some advice before i start to throw some money into it to find the problem

Blown head gaskets don't always consume coolant.

when she's sitting at the light, does her radiator fan come on?

yea the fan comes on and goes off like its supposed to thats why im having a hard time trying to figure it out

I'd rent the sniffer from autozone then, I'd bet the head gasket is blown.

Try to include the topic of the thread in it's title, you'll get more responses that way, I just edited it for you.
