There is something wrong with your radiator that it is not cooling your engine coolant. The heater has a little rad in it that sends heat to the cabin and thereby cooling the engine coolant also. If you stop the heat then your engine returns to overheating. Get this fixed or engine replacement will be in your future.

More then likely, your thermostat is sticking. When this happens, your car tends to overheat. If you turn on you heat, it keeps your car from overheating for a little longer then if you left it off.

Your 2004 Grand Prix is overheated light on dash said to turn AC off Is the AC causing it to overheat?

Your AC should not cause your car to overheat. Your car probably has a different reason that it is overheating. However, your AC adds additional heat to the engine. Your car wants your AC off until you get the problem fixed. You would have a similar situation if you sprained your ankle while you carried your backpack. Someone would tell you to put down the backpack until you got your sprained ankle taken care of.

Why does your car overheat after car runs to operating temp and then you turn car off and back on?

When you shut off an engine, the water pump stops flowing h20 plus antifreeze through the engine block and radiator. All of that extreme heat settles into the aggregate fluid. This can cause the engine to over heat the fluid and boil over. That is the reason you do not go out and take off the radiator cap. You could be severely burned or scalded by the hot fluid. That fluid has to be pumped constantly to keep the engine cool. The electric fans should cut on and help cool to some degree. Too, while you are driving on the road, the air at 30 to 60 miles per hour will help cool as well. When the air and the water stop flowing. Heat will build up.
