is doing it every time you drive it? Have you flushed the cooling system? have you checked your coolant level? Is it leaking or burning coolant? Is the car driving ok? Have you noticed a loss of power? do your cooling fans turn on? does it do it sitting still, or more so when on the road?

hate to ask a bunch of questions, but the best way to find out the resolution of your issue is to get specific with the description of your problem.

According to Haynes manual:

OVERHEATING
1. In sufficient coolant in system
2. Water pump drivebelt defective or out of adjustment
3. Radiator core blocked or grille restricted
4. Thermostat faulty
5. Electric coolant fan inoperative or blades broken
6. Radiator cap not maintaining proper pressure
7. Ignition timing incorrect

Check for a coolant leak. Maybe it's the water pump
