I think the whether may have something to do with my car overheating while idle. I went to a friend's house and left the car in the sun idling as I wasn't expecting to stay longer than 15 mins and plus I had food in the car.
Well after leaving my car on idling with the ac on full for 15-20 mins, i've noticed my car was overheating when i pulled out of his house. I immediately turned the engine off and turned the heat on full blast. it cooled the car down eventually and i was able to drive it fine afterwards without it overheating.
i've checked the coolant and it wasn't low, the radiator itself was changed about 1-1.5 year ago. should i flush the coolant?
also, the cap on the high port of the ac seems to be missing. i'll need to go get a new cap for it, but i noitced that it bubbles in the hole....
any suggestions? i was thinking of getting my ac recharged by sears for $125 and flush the coolant myself.
it's on a 99 accord sedan, the fan seems to work and everything.
