i have a 98 dodge intrepid 3.2 engine. My car overheats when I run the a/c for long periods of time in hot weather. I dropped my car off at the shop and they said my a/c is locking up and doesn't even come on. (It worked prior to) the shop said I need an air compressor. Will the air compressor fix my overheating problem? I had the thermostat checked and I'm told that it's perfectly fine. Recommendations?
Also right before i dropped my car off there was a really loud squealing sound coming from under the hood but went away once I turned the a/c off.
