Default My 2002 ex over heats when AC is on. Please help

I live in Southern California and with summer just starting the tempature here gets up to 100-105. Since it's gotten hotter my car now wants to over heat. It only does it when I have my AC on. I'm noticing that when my temp is high the Reservior is filled to the top with coolant. I had the a similar problem with this car a year ago but it overheated with or without the AC. I went ahead and replaced the motor or $650. But here I am again back to square one. Can anyone help me figure this out?

You shouldn't have replaced the motor. You should have just double check that everything was working correctly and maybe done a head gasket swap and resurfacing on the head itself. Then you wouldn't run into the problem again. Read the post about the overheating that was started by "sttatik." You might notice some similarities. Good luck.
