your thermostat may have gone bad and is stuck in the closed position when the car reaches operating temp. check to see if the fans click on, if not carefully squeeze (it will be hot!) the large radiator hose (aka water inlet hose) if it squeezes easily with no resistance the coolant is not circulating properly and your thermostat needs replaced. if it seems solid but the fans are not running the switch on the fans will need replaced and/or the fans themselves.

if the fans are running and water is circulating you may have build up in the in the cooling system and need to flush the radiator
