define heating up, 200* is where it should be on a stock gauge. Do you have a/c? if so just turn it on the fans are always on when a/c is on

an internal combustion engine should run at 195* for optimum performance (that's teh temp pro drag racers aim for at launch) it may be your picking up underhood air (real common with ram air kits) make sure the intake is blocked from the engine heat (manual fan switches are for when the engine is off and you need to run fans)

Here's the one I had back when I had a problem with overheating.

Take a look around because you can find it cheaper but it was a good switch and the instructions that come with this one are very good.
