check your fan control. See if the fans are working. If i remember correctly you can unplug the fan from the wiring harness the fan and the fan should stay on when you turn your car on. But i am not sure. The other thing i would check. If the fans work is the Fan control switch. Which turns your fans on when the temp reaches a certain temp.

RE cooling

change the fan switch located on the pass head in between 6-8 cylinders
part from advance auto is a fs6 it's like 21 bucks
fan kicks on at 219 degrees
