Can anyone help with these issues?

My A/C always runs warm when im idle and then gets cold again when driving along.

Temp gage stays on cold when im driving along with not issues with the heating, but then will go up to the normal temp mark when im idleing in traffic.

ive also had an issue with overheating once as well, not sure what caused it.

not sure if either fan is working as well on the engine either. left the car to idle for a bit with the a/c on and neither fan came on.

Thanks

Sounds like an issue with the cooling fans, fuse or fan controller module. The systems point to a fan issue.

i was thinking this as when i left the car running a while no fans kick in while just letting the engine tick over.

If the AC is on, then the cooling fans run under the control of the HVAC ECM. If the fans aren't running when the AC on, then there's an issue. It's best to have a full systems diagnostic run on the vehicle, and see what comes up which is related to the fans or HVAC system.

Running without fans isn't great, as these engines don't like to be overheated.
