The car overheats when moving, but not when sitting still. The head gasket has been replaced, as well as the thermostat, water pump, and of course the water pump gasket. There are no leaks anywhere in the system. The coolant system appears to have no blockages, and the thermostat appears to be working properly. While driving, the car overheats and the radiator boils over. Also, the fan does not turn on, but the fan relay is good, as well as the appropriate fuse, and the fan itself tested out fine. The radiator has no blockages. I am at a loss as to what is causing this. Any ideas?

The fan not working might be related to the issue, but that is not causing the overheating. When moving, the fan does virtually nothing. I ran a car without a fan completely for a few weeks because the fan was on backorder, and the only time the temp would start to creep up would be when sitting still. This car is only overheating when moving.
