and the air conditioner does basically the opposite. what could be causing this? and would a 'cooling system flush' cure it? Thanks....

You may have more than one problem. You could have a leaking intake gasket(which is a common problem with that engine) causing a loss of coolant to the engine. Also you could have a thermastat that is not working properly. Make shure your coolant level is full and there are no air pockets in the cooling system. You may have to take it to a repair shop for both problems. Hope this helps..

A thermostat sticking halfway open can cause this. Its restricting flow at higher rpms, but allows enough flow at lower rpms...

if not the thermostat try the water pump it might be slipping at high RPMs

check the thermostate under high revs water flow is not flowing right and its causing it to heat up
