The AC shuts down when the engine temp goes over a centain point. I found this out when my 1st head gasket went south. 50,000 miles after I had that one replaced it went away again. I managed to hold off repairs and additional damage by slicing a V in my radiator cap to allow the exhaust leak gasses to escape into the over flow instead of super heating the coolant and blowing coolant out of the tank.
