My SC 400 overheats when stopped
Hi everyone,
My 1992 SC400 overheats only when I am at lights. It goes all the way up to the red though. I have taken it to a few stations and some think it could be electrical, others think it could be radiator. The problem is they want to charge to diagnose.
I have a new radiator and thermostat so I think it could be something else.
Any suggestions so I dont pay a fortune for this problem?
Thanks!

My 95 has been doing the exact same thing if I let it sit idle for extended periods.
The fan is running too.
I drained all the coolant and it was significantly low. I had filled it back up from being low a month or so before this. I even went so far as to pull the upper rad hose off and fill the motor and the radiator, not just the overflow tank.
I haven't seen any leaks outside the car. It's a new radiator. and I pulled the carpet and noticed no visible heater core leaks or water stains.
