If I'm understanding u right, u overheat when the AC is not on?! If so, it sounds like the electrical fan for the AC is working & the electric, radiator cooling fan is not operating. This may be caused by a bad fan switch, coolant sensor fan relay, electrical short to the fan or it may be a simple fuse. Good Luck
If your talking about the cooling fan for the radiator, if it's an electric fan then it is controlled by a temperature sensor that's screwed into the block (usually near the thermostat housing) the fan shouldn't come on right away, until the temp is reached, then it should turn on & run for a while til the temp drops again,then it will turn off, then repeats itself. If this is what's happening then that's normal, if not check the temp sensor.
Now if it's a clutch fan (not electric) then the clutch that's bolted to the fan could be your problem. hope this helps.
could be a bad temp sensor or faulty thermostat. so by cooling cycle do you mean electric fan, or water circulation. a bad thermostat will slow circulation down causing overheat even if cooling fans are on. a bad sensor will not operate electric fan properly or at all and car will get hot at idle or slow speed and cooler at higher speed. Keep in mind that electric fans can turn on at any given time so KEEP ALL FINGERS AND LOOSE CLOTHIG AWAY at all times.
This could be cause by a variety of problems such as low coolant, bad water pump, head gasket leak, manifold leak, malfunctioning fan clutch, broken electric fan, etc etc.
If you have an electric fan, it is designed to turn on triggered by a temperature sensor located near your top rad hose mounting on the intake manifold. If this sensor is broke you will over heat without the fan kicking in at stops. Same with a clutched fan. Could be not moving enough air at a stop.
Check your coolant levels and let your vehicle run while watching to be sure your fan kicks in. Keep your fingers away from it while running. It can start up anytime. If all is well, you may have a plugged rad or restricted rad.
