Is it overheating? Have you checked the water pumper if its pumping coolant through out the engine and if it has air in it and also check the engine coolant temperature sensor this is the one that tells the computer when to activate the fan relay so that the fan will come on.

Power the cooling fan from the battery and see what happens
