It'll overheat at idle if you're 1) not running fans or 2) not running a thermostat.
But then, so will any car with any radiator.

I bet you money it's not the radiator. If it does it at idle and not while driving then I bet it's the waterpump or the thermostat. Give us some more details and we can advise further. There is no way any radiator should overheat at idle esp. a fluidine. So that rumor you heard was absolutly false. There is another problem somewhere. I bet you if you put the car up on ramps you will see coolant comming from the water pump.
I edited to the wiki!

check the thermostat 1st. check it when its cool. open the cap, and start the car, and just look to see if the thermo opens etc. if not replace it. and its cheaper and easier then a water pump.. hehe Michael 99gs HRC Stage 2 @12psi Stage 3 process begins gathering parts for rebuild 2GNT Member #32 http://www.dreamwater.net/purplebeast
