Going down the road it will not overheat until I stop at a red light or at idle it will go past 210. I hear the radiator fan when I turn my A/C on but never at anytime else. What should I do?

Thank you so much I checked the fan clutch and was loose on the shaft ready to fly off. All set with a new unit from Amazon for $67.00
