Sup D ... that has happened to me and it was indeed the therm .. But it can be other things aswell .. how about the clutch on the fan? Is it working properly ? I have had the fanclutch go out and did the same symptoms your having. Anything done to the car?

Remember, the fan clutch should have some resistance when turning by hand and should NOT spin freely.
