Ok well I started overheating about 10 days or so. This happened out of nowhere.
I replaced the thermostat thinking that was the problem. Well it started doing the same thing.
I finally figured out that my radiator fan was not turning on. I checked the motor in the fan and its ok.

What else could be preventing my radiator fan from coming on?

I'll paypal $20 to whoever offers the winning suggestion.

jump out the thermoswitch and see if it comes on. you can also check the fuse.

it could be that A: the engine has yet to get hot enough to need the fan (if the car is overheating that is not the answer, you did not say wether or not the car was overheating).
B: the fan motor is broken
C: the fan switch is bad.

I have pulled over when the car was overheating and the fan did'nt come on.
I checked the fan motor and its good.
Where is the fan switch? Thanks

the thermoswitch shoud be on the thermostat housing. at least thats where mine is. it should be like a 15/16 or 1" socket size and have 2 wires.
