Welcome newbie!

Why do you think it overheats? Just because the fans turn on? They're supposed to run with the A/C regardless of temperature.

Does the dashboard temperature gauge rise very suddenly? How fast? Maybe electrical problems like an open ground are causing a faulty reading on the gauge. The engine is not capable of instantly changing temperature.

Finally, I'll move this to General Tech, which is a more appropriate place for it.
