Question:
Then I noticed steam coming from my engine hood but when I turn on the AC, it goes away.
I have a 97 Honda Accord 6 cycl. One more thing, I added straight antifreeze to the radiator - no water. Any advice on what could be wrong? Does this sound expensive?
Answers:
Unfortunately, sometimes cooling system repairs can get a bit pricy. If you can find the problem, and fix it yourself, you can save a lot of money.

After you ride the car and park it, check under the front of the car to see if it's leaking anti-freeze. If it is, you may need a new radiator hose(s) which will cost you under $40 for the hose(s) plus labor. If you punctured the radiator that will cost you around $200 plus labor.I know i am not to ask this! Is it possible to put the odometer mileage less than the real one ?
Maybe it's overheating because you need a new thermostat. Or if you ever notice a puddle of fluid on the floor of your car (usually front seat-passenger side) that means your heater core went. I'd get it checked before something major breaks and that's when it'll get expensive!

Second, if your coolant is full, but your temp rises abnormally high, then comes down or doesn't come down, either the thermostat needs replacing or the water pump is not circulating properly.
If you are stuck in traffic, and the temp keeps going up, AND all other things are ok, then your cooling fan(s) aren't coming on when they are supposed to...cooling fan temp sensor or dead motor on the fan...

Your car's engine has two switches to activate the electric fan which cools the radiator. When you activated the AC, the fan came on cooling the motor. But when you shut it off, nothing activated the fan to come on; overheating the engine. A coolant temperature sensor which is the other item that activates the coolant fan, could be bad. A bad thermostat might be another problem where it is not opening allowing circulation of the coolant.How to change a serpentene belt on a 2003 Toyota Corolla?

Betty,I'm sure you read the other answers, the main thing is to get it fixed before it causes you a lot of money, by overheating and destroying the engine. Right now it is minor, but it can get large in just a mile or two.
It really doesn't matter if you add straight anti-freeze or a 50/50 soution. In fact the solution is better and will protect to a lower temp. Good luck hope it's a small fix.
