Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.com.

The first thing I would recommend is replacing the thermostat and flushing the radiator and engine block. Here are two links that discuss the cooling system and how to check and replace a thermostat:

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
