check your fluids it is probably low on antifreeze and if it still does it change your thermostat that should fix the problem

What could be the possible problems with a 1992 Ford Explorer that overheats while idling and driving under 35 mph but during freeway travel the temperature gauge cools down to normal?
Check and see if the fan cluch is good. Your fan. At higher speeds, the fan is not needed due to the high airflow. At low speeds and idle, you need the fan to operate to cool the car.

Why does your car die while driving it loses all power suddenly and takes a minute to restart?
To give more info, the car surges before it dies. I can actually keep the car running if I tap the accelerator when I feel it surge. The car also dies at idle. I don't know if this is related or not, but the car easily overheats even with new coolant and thermostat.
Car overheats cools when slow down?
If it overheats at speed, but cools down when you slow down, the problem is likely a head gasket. Combustion gasses are leaking into the cooling system, adding bubbles (which take the place of coolant) and extra heat. Slowing down means the engine is spinning slower, and less combustion gas gets into the cooling system.
How long do I let the car idle during the winter?
Assuming the car is a gas powered vehicle, and not a diesel the answer is, just long enough to get all the snow off the windshield. You don't need to let the car idle before driving it. The only reason to let it idle before driving is to defrost/defog the windows.

Each car overheats at a different temperature you need to look up and find out on the internet
