In general stationary overheating happens when the vehicles
electric fan stops working. The could be caused by failure in one
or more sensors, relays, or could just be the fan itself, applying
12vlts. D.C. directly to the plug on your fan (watch those hands)
can eliminate that possibility.

Asked in Pontiac Trans Am
Why does your 1997 Trans am overheat while idling but not while driving?
If the car is fitted with an electric cooling fan, this may have
failed.
A car moving will normally get enough air to keep the radiator
cool.
I have known a water pump to be faulty, where the vanes have
become detached
this causes lack of flow in the cooling system.
