and before anyone has the opportunity to be a wise guy yess it has coolant in it :bigthumbsup
1996 gt running real warm when a/c on///// coolant light wont shut off
ok so im back at it again. fixxed everytihng else but now i drove it the other day with my buddy it was kinda warm out but i wasnt hammering on it just som backroads to feel the growl. but ok hears the problem
when i turn my air conditioning on and drive i can sit there and watch the temp go up. but if i turn it off it drops back down. so idk
and the second part is i got the coolant light on almost at all times
now this only happend since the new intake manifold iput in a week ago havent had the car for more than 3 weeks so idk if this was an issue before i got it the guy i bought it from was not a real mustang person.
my idea is maby the new thermostat that i put in maby isnt working right??? idk and suggestion or help woul be greatly apppriciated.

Now for your temp.
1) I'd say you have a bad thermostat
2) your fan not turning-on on time (bad sensor?)
I'm leaning towards the bad thermostat because what you describe is exactly what happened to one of my buddy's car. When is A/C was on the temp would get roughly 3/4. He changed his thermostat and problem fixed. His car is a 98 Mustang V6 BTW.
im hoping thats what is cause i still have my other thermostat from my other intake manifold im gonna try and swap em to see if that helps any
I'd get a new one if I were you...they're not too expensiveim hoping thats what is cause i still have my other thermostat from my other intake manifold im gonna try and swap em to see if that helps any
