its your fan hook it up to a toggle switch to be able to turn off and on when you wish you can tell thats your problem from what you state

fan works..ive looked at his car,fan works only when the car is shut off..also,fan does not kick in at operating temperature..which means the thermostat isnt opening and closing properly...fan works but not while motor is running??? 99% sure that the thermostat is shot..-Greg

Aslo kyle i explained this to you lastnight...take your lazy ass to dicount..

regarding about the fan, it could be your thermo. switch. I highly doubt this, but check your radiator cap because mine fell apart a couple days ago and screwed me pretty hard. Good luck man.
