Default overheating

i have a 90 integra gs and it keeps over heating. it fine when i am driving but when i am at a stop light for longer then 15 second it starts to over heat fast. while i am at the stop light i rev the motor to 2000 rpm and it normaly stays cool. i already fix the thermastat and the rediator is only 4 years old....any one have any ideas to fix this probleme? anything help would be nice

thank you

have you checked the coolant level in the radiator?
it doesnt matter how old it is.. it oculd still be leaking.

Air pockets in the cooling system? Did you bleed these when you changed your coolant?

if it cools down when you accelerate is cuz your thermostat is opening up.. its your thermostat.. more then likely..not enuf anti freeze.. so it got stuck.. check your coolant/water ratios
