The most basic check is to make sure the radiator fan is working. If it
is staying cold on the highway, that indicates a defective or missing
thermostat. Get this fixed pronto. Not warming up and regular
temperature swings are surefire methods to ruin the engine.

Can anyone offer advice on the cause of overheating
during idling?  My 87 Syncro runs very cold on the
highway, but overheated today during a smog check, and
I've noticed that the temperature guage starts to rise
at long stop lights as well.  Thanks!
