Is it a 4 cylinder or a 6cylinder, should be a 4cyl if it is, then replace your engine coolant thermostat, but firstly r both your engine cooling fans working, if yes next is there a vibration felt at idle if yes check engine balance shaft chain, this chain drives the water pump, if broken, then u will have problem with water pump, good luck.
