1997 Honda Civic EX over heating. New radiator, plenty of fluids, new thermostat. Fans are good, fan relays are good. It only over heats when your stopped at a red light or a stop sign. When you start moving, it cools back down. What is the problem?

    sounds like you aren't getting enough air passing through the radiator while still. If you've got a fancy aftermarket front end, it could be the sort that is to restrictive and doesn't let enough air through unless you are at speed and have a fair amount of pressure.

    Or, your engine might be producing too much heat - things like worn bearings and such can cause this.
