For the last week, my car has been heating up too much when the car is idle and the engine is running. When I start driving either on the freeway or city or city roads then it is fine, but as soon as I stop then the temp gauge starts to rise up. Ive checked and there is plenty of fluid in the radioator. Any ideas please email me at vladimirmacok@gmail. Com

Thanks in advance.
