[QUOTE="Fred'S'nake, post: 16457064, member: 112388"] Driving my Cobra to my brother's place about 5 miles away. 3/4 of the way my A/C starts to blow warmer air. I get to my brother's and shut the car off. Later in the day I leave, with the A/C off. About 2 miles away I turn it on, it starts to get cold then stops. At this point I finally think to look at the temp gauge. It is climbing. As I get home the temp gauge is a needle from hot. This has happened before and I ended up changing the rad fan, 6 mos ago. So I make a call to a local shop. I bring it in on Friday, today. They call me about 4:00 today and tell me they did a pressure test of some type on the engine and it failed a couple times.
