Default Overheating issue

Good morning! I have a 204 GC special edition. I had the water pump and thermostat replaced in June of this year, I have replaced the spark plugs and #4 and #8 ignition coils. While idling my jeep will overheat, when I drive the temp drops to normal operating temp. There are no leaks, I don't have the AC on. Any ideas as to the cause? This is getting frustrating for me.

I would check out the fan clutch. those are typical symptoms of a bad fan clutch.

So, does this vehicle have a fan clutch and a fan motor? I see the motor attached to the back of the fan. Also I looked at the fuse/relays(?), I see a place for one for the radiator fan but there isn't a fuse/relay in the spot. Is that normal? I looked under the hood in a black box near the battery.
