Welcome to justanswer. How hot is it running?

all the way to the shaded area once i can go for couple minutes it will cool down but still wants to surge when stopped at lights

What temperature does the digital gauge read? It is normal for these cars to run 220-238 stopped. Try turning the air conditioning on as it kicks the fans on sooner and should keep it cooler when stopped. I'm looking into the surging for you.

i cant turn air on as it does not work

Okay have you replaced the coolant temperature sensor? This could cause both of your problems.
