overheat- kind of...

After replacing the thermostat, and fans, I thought my overheat problems were done. (high temp when going to idle after a long drive)
So yesterday I did the waterpump, which did not look that bad when I looked at the old one- did not seem like it would be causing this problem.
Sure enough, the problem returned.
So I got thinking.... what could be adding a lot of load to the engine at idle..
I pressed the econ button, and the problem disappeared. The AC must be going bad. I can make the car overheat at idle by turning on the AC!
Will try putting a replacement tomorrow
