Ok make sure the it is a pulling fan not a pushing fan you can tell by turning on the car and fan ad put a pc of tissue paper on the front it should suck to the radiator if the fan is wired right and is placed right on the radiator (motor side is pulling .bumper side if pulling) on my 1 Chevy truck i had switched out from the belt fan to electric fan and the guy that put the new fan on had wired it wrong so it was trying to push the air though the wrong way (instead of pulling the air though the radiator ) and gave me a sporadic over heating problem the only other thing you could look at is check the cfm of the fan you may need a a twin fan set up to move enough air though the radiator
