Check your thermostat.
if the coolant in the overflow rises and overspills when you shut the car off or is boiling in the reservoir
check your antifreeze level (there should be an overflow tank with add and full lines) make sure there is antifreeze in there if there isn't add a 50/50 mix until it is full, start the engine, run for a few minutes and shut off. check the level again once it cools off. check your antifreeze level (there should be an overflow tank with add and full lines) make sure there is antifreeze in there if there isn't add a 50/50 mix until it is full, start the engine, run for a few minutes and shut off. check the level again once it cools off.
The term "boiling", I am assuming, is referring to the coolant bubbling out of the radiator or overflow. This indicates that your engine is overheating, and should be shut off IMMEDIATELY. It is possible that er-repairable damage has already been done to an engine that has boiled over.
could be to much anti-freeze hard to tell without seeing it if think that's not it maybe a line could be clogged or thermostat needs replaced
A car's cooling system is designed to contain a certain amount of fluid. With too much in the system, the fluid will expand after reaching high temperatures and you might see a puddle of antifreeze. Don't worry, the puddle is due to the overfill Make sure to check your overflow reservoir after you shut off your car. Make sure that there is still some fluid left in it.

The engine is overheating.
On a 2002 Ford Taurus : The fuel pump shut off switch ( inertia switch ) is on the passenger side of the trunk , behind the trunk liner ( there is an access hole )
car cuts off
your water pressure/volume is to much for the overflow to handle.after repair try to turn shut off valve under toilet to slow water fill in tank.test by holding down float while refilling toilet.
The car is overheating. Possibly the thermostat is stuck closed. Have it checked by a mechanic.
