You first need to check the radiator fluid, as well as your over flowreservoir. YOUR ENGINE MUST BE COLD WHEN DOING THIS, YOU COULD GET BURNED OR WORSE! If the levels are good, your antifreeze may be too watered down, have someone with a antifreeze tester check this. If that is fine your thermostat may be sticking shut. The water pump may be bad, usually you will be loosing water when this happens. The electric fan may be bad or even disconnected. Any of these may contribute to the overheating.
