The reason why your car is getting hot just idling is because the fan does not come on till a little over 200 degrees. When you are going down the road there is air going through your radiator. A thermostat just makes the water enter the engine at a lower temp. If you want your car to stay at 180 degrees then you will have to buy a chip that makes the fan come on sooner or hard wire your fan so you can turn it on and off at your discretion. The stock fan is very good on our cars, don't waste your money on another one. Hope this helps.
