I have a 1998 Cadillac Sedan Deville, it doesn't overheat on the freeway but on the street it does after about two miles. The cooling fan does come on but don't know if its working properly. How can I tell if its the reason for the car overheating? Also when I bought the car it did not have a thermostat in it now it does is that the reason for the overheating?

It's supposed to run considerably hotter in slow traffic. Just how hot is it getting? Is it getting into the red zone on the gauge?
