I had a thermostat already so I decided to just change it. Still it?s over heating.
The entire time I got no fan.
The last time I checked the bottom coolant hose coming from the radiator was slightly cold (not unbearable to touch like all the others)

If it overheats and no fan, than unplug it and run wires directly to the fan plug. If it comes on, you have narrowed it down to 1 of 2 relays, fan switch, or thermostat.
Unplug the plug that goes to the thermostat housing?

Well, I know you guys were all in suspense on whether or not I was going to fix my overheating problem
Guess what good news! I fixed it... there was a kink in the lower radiator hose. Normally when I get home from work its getting dark outside so I didn?t blame myself for not seeing it.
Thanks for all your help

My ex had the same problem. He replaced the thermostat and it was fine.
