Well 2 things I've found..

#1 AC belt is stretched.. to the point that I cannot tighten it enough to even begin to make it tight. I am actually shocked that the compressor is even running its so loose. I've order a new belt to resolve that issue.

#2 in-car temp sensor is was missing some parts and not even connected properly. The hose was just haing free in the dash and the PO had replaced the foam section with some heater hose. I'll remedy that as soon as I can get to Lowes. Also the part that the hose actually connects to on the sensor is gone.. I'm hoping its just hanging at a low point on the wiring harness, but I really didn't feel like dropping the driver side kick panel. I just stole the one off my car for now since the AC in it is majorly wacked.

I imagine the biggest part of the problem is that belt.
