Overheating caused by wrong pressure cap? 900 1993

I will replace the thermostat. The thermal switch in the radiator is brand new from the Dealer. The overheating problem ONLY happens when the car sits at idle or in very slow traffic jams. Even a speed of 25 mph is enough to push sufficient air through the radiator to keep the temperature down.

The lower pressure cap works most of the time except as I mentioned above. If I figure out a way to get that fan to turn on at a lower temperature, all should be well.

Thanks for your input.
