Crazy Rad. Fan

Ok guys I have been trying to figure this one out for a long time. I only have 1 radiator fan, the ac fan is out. Now the fan only seems to cut on when it wants to, most of the time when the car gets to operating temps it will cut on. Well today it decided that it didn't want to cut on so the car started to overheat, I cut the ac on and the fan cut on, when I cut the ac off the fan went off. I cut the car off and the coolant was boiling. Let it cool down some and cranked it back up. This time when the car got warm the fan cut on but after a few minutes it turned off and started overheating again. Drove it around the block and it wanted to run hot when ever I was idleing. Got home and the fan cut back on and worked fine.

I have no idea what could cause this, maybe a bad coolant temp sensor?
