Whats wrong when your jeep grand Cherokee idles and the temp skyrockets to 260 degrees but is fine when its moving?
Most likely cause is a faulty coolant temp gauge located on top of the front of the water pump, toward the front of the engine, or the water pump is bad. The fan is attached to the water pump and the drive belt rides on the water pump pulley. The reason the engine returns to normal idle when moving is that air is circulating the engine, and the coolant, and the sensor detects that the engine operating range has been reached. to fix, drain the coolant, remove the temp sensor, replace, and refill the radiator. If thsi does not solve the problem, its the water pump. Tim

You are probably low on coolant, check the overflow bottle next time you stop, but judging by the high temp you are missing quite a bit of coolant.
How do you diagnose an overheating problem in a 1998 cadillac deville i was driving on highway with air going the temp shot up to 260 and car shut off.?
well there no need to diagnose overheating, 260 is overheating big time. U have to find out why its overheating. Could be low coolant, a stuck thermostat, a clogged dirty coolant system, bad fan clutch, or if u have electric fan make sure they are coming on. if the fans don't come on, could be a fuse, the fan motor, a temp sensor, or a relay. With the ac on the fans should be running no matter what if it has electric fans. As soon as the ac come on the fans should turn on and stay running. if there not something is wrong.

Your 2003 vw jetta is overheating and the engine light is staying on the coolant level is fine is this your thermostat?
Probably not. It could be the cooling fans, or the water pump. Does the temp go down to normal when you are going down the hwy? If so, its probably the fans. If the temp gets to 260 the fans should kick on, if not, I would look at the fan circuit, fan module, and fan assembly.
