My ignition is kinda messed up and I will start my car and it starts to over heat after a while but my dad said you have to get hte ignition in the right spot and I wanted to know what else it could be and nothing is leaking no fuses are blown I have anti freeze and all the right fluids at the right levels so what else could it be.

Square away the ignition switch and then find out what's causing the fans not to come On-could be the relay/coolant temperature sensor/temperature gauge switch/computer
