My engine starts to overheat while idling for periods longer than a few minutes, especially when it's hot out. Using the A/C tremendously speeds up the overheating process. Turning on the heater cools it down back to normal. I have checked the fluids and performed a radiator flush, as well as checking belts and the fan.
