Low coolant?

Cooling fan not working?

Radiator plugged or dirty and needs to be boiled or flushed?

Defective radiator cap?

Behind the front grille is an electric fan motor. It is supposed to come on when you turn on the AC to keep the radiator cooler. If it's not coming on, and the car is sitting, the longer you sit, the hotter it gets. Once the car starts moving again, it starts to cool down. You could have a bad motor or a bad motor relay. I swapped 2 relays and it did the same thing. Got another motor from a junk yard, good as new.
