03 Isuzu Rodeo V6. I think I fixed a problem but now my AC button is like turbo!?
Little backstory. My temp gauge was intermittently dropping all the way to the Cold mark even though everything was at operating temp. I started carrying a Bluedriver around everywhere I went to try to capture some live data. The needle buried in the C on a drive one day, the data reported my coolant temp was coming in at 18 degrees! Next day (today), I replaced the coolant temp sensor. Hopefully that took care of the problem (like I said, it was intermittent). But now, as soon as I turn my AC on, my engine speed jumps to about 1500 rpm. It'll get up to 35 mph without even touching the gas pedal! The brakes don't like being in a parking lot or at a red light, so I turn the AC off and the tach drops back to about 700 which is normal. It wasn't doing this before the new temp sensor. WTF?

First of all The temperature gauge has nothing to do with the AC system. The first thing to do when you have a temperature gauge acting strange is check the coolant level in the radiator. Take the radiator cap off and run the motor for 15 minutes and watch for air bubbles coming out of the radiator neck. Top up the coolant if it's low. It's normal for the idle speed to rise when the AC is turned on. There is probably a idle adjustment screw to adjust the high idle speed. Only adjust it while the AC is on.
