I have replaced the water pump, the radiator, the thermostat and coolant temp. sensor. My fans always turn on and but when I turn my AC on I can only get heat when im driving on the freeway or try to speed up. Plus as of yester my check Engine light came on and now I have Code P0420 and P0302. I just don't know what to do know.
Try this procedure:
Might be a stupid question but have you replaced the radiator cap?
Testimonial: "I have replaced the radiator cap as well"
i have replaced the radiator cap as well
Well both fans are suppose to come on when you turn on the ac. You prob have a blend door issue with the blower.
The 420 is an o2 sensor and the 302 is a misfire I. Number 2 pull the plug o. Number 2 and see if there is coolant in the cyl.
Have the system pressure tested and a leak down performed. Both you can rent at autozone.
if there is coolant in my cylinder does that mean the problem is my head gasket?
Unfortunately yes

SOURCE: My car is overheating a lot and i dont know why???
do you have a temp gauge or light? make sure the radiator is full, if you have a gauge start the engine and let it idle for about 15 to 30 minutes and see how far the gauge will go up but if it almost reach the dangerous zone turn the AC on and see will the gauge move back down to normal zone if the gauge do move down that mean the cooling fan is working with the AC on but if the gauge do not go down with the AC on that mean the cooling fan is not working you can check the cooling fan by connecting the red wire to the + post on the battry and the black wire to - post on battry and if the fan work it is good then check the cooling fan relay and wiring.

I checked to see if there was any coolant in the cylinder and there was none. Im going to a mechanic to get a compression test and a leak down test.
Also there is some weird hissing sound coming from my car and it idles ruough and the transmission hesitates when it shifts in to higher gears
