You have a leak!!!!

Also, the cooling system is connected to the AC so the radiator cooling
fan will come on  when the AC is turned on. Also, the Idle stabilizer
system will kick up the idle rpm with the AC on to handle the added load
created by the AC being "ON" and so the engine won't stall at idle
speeds such as at stop lights, etc. That increase in idle rpm needs
additional cooling in hot weather. Thus the radiator cooling fan kicks in.

So I started it up yesterday and it heated up pretty fast....as it approached the led it moved above it and the fan never turned on. I turned on the AC and the high speed fan kicked in.
