Default 1993 Honda Accord overheating issues

My wife has a 1993 Honda Accord and it has started overheating i am trying to flush the radiator first and then i thought I should try the thermostat. It only overheats when the car is stopped I dont know if this makes a difference. I would appreciate any advice on getting this problem fixed Thank You...

I have checked and found out that the fans do not start when the car is stopped i checked the relay and its fine. The AC doesnt blow cold air anymore but if i turn on the AC the fans kick on.... I am goin to try and replace 2 temp/fan sensors that are supposed to tell the engine when its hot enough to kick the fans on... I hope this fixes the problem if anyone has any advice i woul greatly appreciate it...

I replaced the Coolant sensor and the Temperature sender i used borg warner parts and it cost me about $50 and that did it. The fan kicks on when the car is stopped and no more overheating... Now the next issue the air condition... Fun Stuff.... Thanks
