Could be a thermostat or the cooling fans. Check the thermostat by holding the thermostat hose and see if you feel coolant flowing and the hose would get hot after the thermostat opens, if the hose remains cold the thermostat is bad.
The cooling fans should come on at 210 degrees or so, if not check the fans by removing the connector and applying 12V to the fans, if they come on then the fan switch or relay is bad.
This engine is equipped with aluminum heads so do not let it overheat or you can warp the heads or blow a head gasket.
