the first stage comes on, but the second one doesnt.  I know it works because I can bridge the plug and the second stage is in.

The top water return only returns water to the header tank when the engine is rev'd.

So how will a new radiator make any difference to the above?
You say temp is normal when driving i.e. rad is doing it's job.
Overheats when stationary i.e fans or pump are not doing their job.

I dont know how a new radiator will make any difference - I havent bought one?

The temp sits around 90 - 92 degrees, and recently has started rising to 97 and then dropping again.  Plus the cold heater now.

I assumed you may have been contemplating replacing your rad.

It was on the table at one point, but the problem must be else where. and
