Why does a 1997 4.6l cadillac northstar engine keeps overheating?

First, check the coolant in the radiator. Second, crank the engine and turn on the AC. the electric fan(s) should come on. If they don't you have an electrical problem, possibly a fuse, relay or a bad electric fan. If they do, you've probably have a faulty thermostat in the engine. If the car is consistantly low in coolant without an external leak or it steams, you may have a bad cylinder head or gasket.
