Question Van Overheating

My wife drives a 2007 Nissan Quest. I have noticed the last few days when she arrives home and parks in the garage there is a burnt smell coming from the van.
I took it out tonight to pick up some food and when I would stop at a stop light I could smell the same smell coming throught the vent. When I was in line to get some food I had to wait probably 10 minutes. During that time the temp starting raising. The temperature almost reached the H when I would pull forward 8 feet or so and the temp would go back down but then it would start going back up again.
As long as I am driving it is fine. If I sit for very long it goes up.
I checked the coolant and there is plenty of fluid in the radiator. I check the fuses and none of them are blown. What would be my next step. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Jason

Its likely your cooling fans not working or a fault in the circuit. Do this: At idle pop the hood and take note of temp. gauge. When needle is at midway point the fans should have come on by now. If they're not on, then you know where the problem.

I agree with bennyb53. Also, since there is an smell from the vent, you should also check for coolant leaks. Check the hoses to and from the radiator.
