Default my 91 DA overheats when its idle'ing, and not while driving??? whats this about???

so if i leave my 91 DA runnin at idle for about 5 minutes it will start over heating untell i start driving again, then it goes back to normal.... not really sure what this could be, and also i have a half tank of gas and my gas light turns on.... (im not sure if its really half full or not, i just got this car last night and i didnt put gas in it... so im not sure if the gas gauge works) im just curious about these things... help me out if ya could! thanks
