Default Cracked Head or NOT

well went to get my car inspected yesterday and they kept having problems getting the probe to stay in the pipe. So as its sitting there with no fan in front of it for about 10 minutes all I see is the engine start to smoke and I look inside and my temp gauge is pegged all the way to 260 and all my SES lights are on and check engine soon light. So anyways im driving it home and it starts to act like the spark plugs are fouling out so I check them and sure enough they have water on them. Just wanted to know what could cause water to get on the spark plugs.
thanks

A blown head gasket or warped head immediately comes to mind. That sucks dude. I'd be talking to the shop about running your car in an idle state like that with no fan on it.
