OverHeating Issue and one with this Issue

Ok these past couple of days it's been real humid and HOT out. Well Yesterday In Chicago it was about 90 something and I recently switched my CAI to a Short Ram but now that I switched I'm sucking HOT air and my car started to Overheating I checked my radiator and I have antifreeze so no problem there, but I notice that 1 Fan was running which is common sometimes, but i guess It's not enough to cool the engine. Well I was 60 miles from home when the car was overheating so i pulled over let it sit for awhile but it was still overheating so i Took the front grill off and started driving than I was fine I guess because now more outside air can directly hit the radiator.

Has anyone had this happen I is there a way to resolve this issue?

you need to isolate the problem...were you using the A/C when it overheated? if so, do you know if the 2nd fan kicks on, they both should be on when the A/C is on. does ti overheat when your on the highway? if you turn the heat on while your standing still on full blast, does the needle go on? we cant isolate the problem if you dont give enough information.

Ok I was at a stand still with the A/C on Blast when it was overheating and when I checked the Fan the A/C was off and and only 1 Fan was working so if I turn the A/C on and let it run both Fans should kick in right if not i will need a new fan and motor etc.?

Both fans should be on with the A/C running.
