Toyota overheating question

09 camry owner. I had the exact same issue last year. driving the temp was fine but when idle at a light or in traffic the temp would go up and the light would come on. It was the water pump. I drove like that for about 6 months before I really had to change it. Luckily is was the winter months so it didnt really overheat that much.
good luck

I know, she had an expedition years ago and is always saying how much she regrets getting rid of it.
Lol, make offer. It's a silver 2wd limited in great shape for her age.
On a side note, does anyone have experience with 2010 to 2013 5.4l engines? I know there's some mechanics on here.
If it overheats sitting still it's an airflow issue
If it overheats driving down the road it's a water flow issue
Our 97 4Runner was running great at 310K when we sold it to get a larger vehicle because our son had juvenile arthritis and we had to have more legroom

water pump or fan clutch. Great truck regardless. Don't give it away. Toyota trucks always hold their value
P.S. I just sold my 2006 4x4 4runner with 250k on it for $8000
Sounds like fan clutch
Waterpump onot these will be part timing belt job
Which you are due for

They should be but not always. When I bought my honda 12 years ago, it had records stating the timing belt and water pump along with new coolant was done. It started overheating when Id pull of the interstate and come up to the light. Turned out the waterpump had 1-2 impeller blades left on it when I removed it. It was the original pump with 130k miles on the car. The antifreeze was black as well.
Get the car up to temp, shut off, see if you can turn the fan by hand. That should rule out the fan clutch.
These don't have electric fans I suppose.
