Car Temp well for some time now i noticed in my 94 z that the car usually runs between 1/4 temp and 1/2 temp, i have a 180 thermostat and a new water pump, and the fans set up to turn on when you start the car... the things is it runs fine when the air conditioning is off, but when i turn it on the temp starts to climb every time i give it some gas, usually at stop lights... so im kinda stumped on this one

"Jimmyblue" is correct..........
I know you said your fans come on when you start the car...if you are POSITIVE they keep running the entire time the A/C is "on"......
I explain in there the "banging" method. I now recommend you have all your refridgerant recovered, remove the condensor from the car completely and have it cleaned properly.
This will help you.

Just remember...the banging it against the frame method has worked just fine. BUT...you can break the upper metal line pretty easy if you move the condensor too much. If you break that line they only cost $25.00 used, but you will also loose your refridgerant. So you will have the extra cost to recharge and oil the system again. Plus, when that line breaks it will probably scare the ever-loving **** out of you when it blows. 
There's a shop here that charges $30.00 to recover the stuff, then later put it back in when you're ready. You can clean the condensor yourself pretty easily, especially when the condensor is all the way out of the car. Or, a radiator shop can clean it. They will also get the fins completely clean of years and years of a thin film that builds up on them, not just the pieces of debris that you can see everywhere.
