Well the clutch fan could be malfunctioning but even when I have had that happen it never overheats, just gets warm. Any kind of sweet smell or smoking from the tailpipes? Could be a coolant seal if so.

Well, you can do some quick fix type things to try and stop the coolant seal leak but if it's bad then they won't really do much.
They require you to take apart the engine and basically do a rebuild. You can get a crash course in the rotary engine.
Here is a link to some good info:
