Yes, if the radiator fan is not working, it can cause overheating of the engine. The radiator fan helps to cool down the engine by pulling air through the radiator to remove heat. Without the fan, the engine may not receive adequate cooling, leading to overheating.

Why would steam be coming out from the radiator cap?
Radiator caps are pressure relief valves. They are rated at "pounds per square inch" and are designed to release some pressure from the radiator if it gets too high. If an engine overheats it can boil the coolant and this will cause the radiator cap to let out steam. Radiator caps DO lose their ability to regulate pressure and can release too soon. If the engine has not overheated, have the radiator cap tested and replaced as necessary.

There are plenty of reasons why, so you should check to see if there is/are: 1. enough water/coolant in the system. 2. leaks....hoses, radiator, seals at the thermostat and water pump. 3. working thermostat 4. working temp sending unit. 5. fluid on the interior foot areas 6. good heater core 7. head gasket leakage Now, is this overheating constant? Is the overheating only when you're at an idle? You would need to check the fan clutch...these go bad all the time and cause overheating. You would need to check the electric fan. Have you checked the radiator for leaks or clogs? If you have the original factory radiator still in the car, chances are it's clogged up
