I have recently gotten a radiator flush for my car, but my car still is overheating when it is idle. I was wondering what I should do.

Good afternoon,

Does the cooling fan work at idle when it gets hot? If it does not, it will overheat.

You would hear the fan come on when it gets hot. It will make noise when it starts working.
