I'm not a mechanic / technician but I can think of several things :
In no particular order :
- low engine coolant level , or no engine coolant because of a leak
- engine thermostat sticking closed
- restricted ( dirty ) radiator
- water pump not circulating the engine coolant because of an impeller or belt problem
- a problem with the engine cooling fan not running so air flows through the radiator
any body else have any ideas ?
