my car started running a little hot. so i realized my fans arnt coming on when my car gets hot. it only heats up when i am sitting still. i replaced the coolant temperature sensor and hardwired my fans to the battery and they work fine. i do not know what else to try.

Check the temp sending unit, and check the fan relay.
