Why is 2001 pt cruiser overheating when driving but not idling?

One possible cause could be due to a faulty water pump impeller which can manage to pump the water at idle but not at higher RPM. this can happen because the impeller is made of a hard nylon and is a push fit onto the water pump shaft. Also check your thermostat is in place(dont know cars history) because if it was removed
it could have the same result.
Good luck!
