Then diagnose it and fix it. There is more than one possible reason why this is happening. Narrowing it down requires diagnosis. Either you have blockage in the coolant lines or passages, a faulty thermostat, a faulty water pump, or a bad belt driving the water pump.
The coolant should circulate through the entire water system.
how to changing engine coolant on a 1993 mercury grand marquis gs.
When the car is cold the thermostat is closed. When the thermostat is closed the coolant does not circulate or get in to the engine block.
The Villager engine does not have a coolant bleed valve.

The water pump circulates the coolant throughout the engine. When a pump fails on a 1997 Hyundai the coolant will not circulate properly and cause the engine to overheat.

I believe you have lost your engine coolant
No. When the engine is running coolant is heated and expands. Excess coolant then flows from the radiator to the expansion (overflow) tank. When the engine is shut down coolant cools and contracts drawing fluid back out of the tank to keep the radiator topped off.
engine coolant is designed to heat up at high temperatures, so the liquid is thick so the opposite happens.This allows the engine to circulate the fluid and remain cool allowing the engine to operate longer. Hot metal does not work well
