Hi Curtis,

I believe, It is the time to do servicing on your cooling system/radiator together with your air condition. Your radiator and air condition condenser are so close making an impact one another. So while your air condioning running on high, its condeser will impact the radiator making your car hot.

Also need to check radiator and condenser fans for malfunction.

Regards

Still running hot, can a intake vacuum hose make this car run hot, and does the bleeder screw need to be all the way open to bleed out all air

Vacuum leaks can (in some cases) make an engine run lean, and that will indeed make it run hot and potentially even burn valves. Modern computer controlled systems usually adjust fuel mix for minor leaks, and set codes for major vacuum leaks that can't be compensated for. Bleeder screw does not IMHO need to be open all the way, however I have seen some cars where the valve is not located at the high spot of the cooling system such that air can be trapped somewhere.

More then likely the valve is open on the heater hose , there are two small hoses running from the engine radiator to the heater radiator , one has a valve or tap that is open to heat and closed when the air con is engaged, make sure it's not frozen open.

2001 altima stalls at intersection or when AC is running and car is hot

No to the high octane gas. Regular gas is fine. Higher octane gas is more resistant to ignition and is better suited for high compression engines to prevent preignition and detonation. Check or replace your idle air control valve since the car stall at idle when the throttle blade is closed. If the IAC is not working it won't allow for air to bypass the throttle plate. Also have your throttle body cleaned.

My 1999 Chevy Malibu runs hot? It started when it overheated. We changed the thermostat, then water pump, then temp sensor gauge and the temp gauge goes high but only when the heater stops blowing hot...

Air pockets will make the guage do that, and also cause your heat to come and go. Also, a poor radiator, as in rotting, or plugged up, will cause high temperature issues.

My car would not start the light s is coming on radio air condistion is working

There could be a wide variety of problems that cause this. Sounds like your engine isn't getting fuel though. You may need to replace the fuel pump. Also could be a clogged fuel filter. Replace that as well.

Look at your fan. You either have a weak fan clutch or if its electric you have an electrical fan problem. You need to see if the fan is running strong when it overheats. I am assuming you have checked your coolant.
