my ac started working but when i cut the jeep off antifreeze spewed out. Stopped using the ac nothing came out. Then it spewed antifreeze again and overheated without the ac on. Filled it back up and drove it but nothing came out. What could be causing this problem? Doesnt leak antifreeze all the time. My temp gauge normally sits at 210, but was at 220 when it ranhot. Is 210 the norm for this type ofvehicle as well?

could be that cooling fan(s) are not coming on properly. also remove and test thermostat. if OK may need to test cylinder compression for possible cracked head or head gasket. 210F is good operating temp.
