running Hot

I seem to not be able to keep my car at a reasonable temperature. I tried a 
Texas cooler which seemed to help a little but I started to see evidence of 
the fan hitting the radiator so I just installed an electric fan. I find 
that it doesn't come on until the temp guage reads over 200.  I also 
installed a manual over ride so I could activate the fan as soon as the temp 
starts to climb.  The fan seems to push quite a bit of air and definitely in 
the correct direction.  Unfortunately I do not see the temperature coming 
down. I am starting to wonder if my water pump is circulating the water. It 
is a fairly new pump and I seem to think that the old one kept the 
temperature down a little better. Does anyone know how to determine if the 
pump is pumping a sufficient amount of water without removing it from the 
car. Or does anyone have any other suggestions.
