First, make sure you have the coolant tank filled to the proper level. Next, make sure your engine fan IS working (spinning). If both are ok, its almost safe to say your thermostat is stuck in the closed position, or not opening fully . In that case it is an easy fix, you just need a new thermostat. If you replace the thermostat and still have an overheating problem, that means you have a clog somewhere in your coolant system, or the flow of coolant isn't good enough. If you don't have flow, that means something is making your water pump not work properly. And if your water pump is working properly, that means you have a clog. Clogs most likely take place in the radiator itself. GOOD LUCK!
