Car started to over heat, new thermostat, engine fan not coming on to cool engine.
 
bad fan motor, bad fan relay or bad fan temperature switch. Jumper the fan to see if it will work. Change the relay and see if that fixes it. If you need to change the temp switch after all that, go ahead. They are about $40. The relay should be about $15 and the jumper wire- you must have a piece of wire laying around somewhere. If the car cools down while moving, but gets hot when stopped, that shows that the radiator is able to do its job.

Bad fan clutch. Check this by moving the fan with the car off. You should get some resistance if it seems to spin really loose then most likely its bad.
