When you’re moving down the road, air flows across the radiator naturally. If it stays cool while you are moving but gets hot when you are not, it would indicate a fan issue. The rest of the cooling system is working.

It sounds like you need to increase the fan’s ability to flow air across the radiator.

First I would verify it is coming on. If it is, confirm it is moving air the correct direction. I have seen fans wired backwards before.

Also a shroud could help. Sometimes air can enter between the fan and the radiator (when the fan is behind the radiator, pulling air). When this occurs, you lose airflow across the core. In a push type setup air can escape between the fan and radiator having the same effect.

The only other thing I can think of off the top of my head is the fan could be too small.

I hope this helps.
