Have you replaced your thermostat?

Also, what type of fans did you install, maybe they are not flowing enough at idle?

I replaced the theromostat but the problem wasn't fixed so i took an old tip from a friend an left it out. The fans are the stock replacment fans are are working properly. some one told me maybe a cracked head?

What makes you think the head is cracked? Are you loosing water or oil, or does your oil look like chocolate milk? You could could also have a bad radiator.

well there is smoke (white/clear) out the exhaust. and haven't looked at the oil yet. How can you check your radiator to see that it is working properly.
