Engine Overheating! NEED HELP!

I've been having problems with my explorer for a while now. It gets all the way to the H on the gauge, suggesting overheating. But since it's getting hotter in California, i have to use my AC and now everytime i turn it on, it goes to the H rather quickly.

I've had a CEL before, with the code P0125. I don't have a thermostat on it, but i've changed the sensor that is connected to where the thermostat is (i'm not quite sure which one it is, it has two wires connected to it though).

I really need the help. I need to get to and from work. Thanks!

INSTALL A THERMOSTAT! Running without a thermostat WILL cause it to overheat. What happens is the coolant passes through the radiator too fast, and doesn't have time to cool down.
