If it is a bad thermostat it will overheat with in about five minutes. Check coolant level then have it pressure checked for head gasket leakage.

I drove it up to O'Reilly's auto parts and had them do a diagnostic test and they wrote down four codes and that was that. Not sure if I am supposed to Google the codes or not.
