What causes a 1998 Mazda Millenia 2.5L to overheat and run rough while driving but at idle it overheats after a period of time but not when the blower fan is on high and the radiator fun is on?

The problem you seem to be having is the cooling temp sensor. It controls the fan speed which has two speeds. Try that.

I had the thermostat radiator cap and radiator replaced on a 2001 Mitsubishi galant and it still overheats sitting at idle and while driving Any ideas on what the problem is?
have the engine timing checked. if the timing is wrong the engine will overheat, are you loosing coolant?is the fan working, is the water pump working?
Replaced thermostat and sensor and gauge on 1989 Chevy Celebrity will overheat when driving in city where it is stop and go but driving on highway it will be stay at normal. Why does it overheat?
Possibilities: Cooling fan not working. Low on coolant. Clogged radiator, radiator hose or block.
Why does your Dodge Durango only overheat when idling but not when driving?
You need to check the operation of the radiator fan.
I changed the radiator and thermostat on my 1988 acura legend but still overheats what can be causing the problem?
mixture of the radator fluidThis answer is possible but it is not correct and is a poor choice. There are a number of reasons why a car's engine overheats and the original question doesn't give enough information about the car and its overheating symptoms to deduce the answer to being a mixture of radiator fluid. It's not a good way to answer at all other than it being a guess.The engine can overheat b/c the radiator is old and fill with rust/dus particles that clog it up and the engine as well as the hoses. It can overheats if there's a cooling fan and it's not being turned on at lower speed (bad relay switch or fan motor). It can overheat if it's low in coolant or that the water pump is not working well. It can overheat due to a bad/broken head gasket. It can overheat with trapped air in the cooling system that needs bleeding. When driving with AC on uphill for extended period of time, it can and prob. will overheat, etc. Many reasons for the overheat and to simply give the answer of mixing radiator is simply naive and dull. Do more research being being trigger happy with the fingers :)
Could serious damage occur if the truck had no radiator and was still driving?
Engine may overheat and seize
Cadillac 1996 deville overheats driving fast?
when overheating occurs at highway speeds the cause is usually. a radiator or coolant circulation problem, Check for a restricted or clogged radiator.
Why does my Chevy Venture overheat when idling but is fine when driving?
Check coolant level Cooling fan working? Dirt or clogged radiator? Defective radiator cap?
Why would a car only overheat when driving on highway not when driving around?
Could be debris (leaves, rodent nests, etc.) blocking the air flow through the radiator.
You have a1994 Toyota Paseo that overheats after driving for awhileI have change the thermostat radiator and cap but it blows steam from under the cap?
probably need new head gasket
Why does a 1992 dodge stealth overheats while driving sixty?
check you water (coolant) level, make sure thermostat is working, radiator leaks, sensor problem
1996 Grand Marquis overheating problem Does not overheat until driving for a while then when you come to a stop the temperature climbs.?
radiator plugged.or coolant low
Why my car almost overheat when air con is on or when its in hard acceleration driving?
Could be,Low on coolant.Cooling fan or fans not operating correctly.Coolant circulation restricted (blockage inside radiator).Sticky or stuck thermostat.Air circulation through radiator restricted (blockage outside radiator).
