Make sure you have enough coolant in the system, too. Crack the bleeder screw and open the radiator cap. Fill it up if it's low. 9 times out of 10, overheating is caused by not knowing how much coolant is in the system. I had the same problem. I thought my levels were just fine. Come to find out, it was nearly bone dry, due to a parasitic leak at the water pump. After replacing that and filling the system back up, I'm in city traffic and she's holding just below 200F.
