Check coolant level Perhaps thermostat is not opening to allow coolant flow
put on ac in car and over heats
if the motor over heats because of a plugged radiator you can fry the engine very quickly do not take the cap off !!! if you have driven the car it will burn you six ways to Sunday

Need to change your thermastat i have done that but still over heats when driving
crack the engine block and oil mixes with water or antifreeze.

clogged radiator
Take the thermostat out, start the car and let it idle, see if it over heats. With the thermostat out of your car, it should just constantly circulate water, making it take longer to heat up. If it heats up fast then chances are that your pump is out. DO NOT LET THE CAR REDLINE.
If you run your car with the emergency brake on it will heat the car up.
Sounds like you need a radiator coolant flush or you need a bigger radiator for your vehicular transport thingy.
if your car over heats alot then that is a pretty good sign. aslong as it isn't your water pump. but thermostat is a good place to start. if you replace the thermostat and it still over heats. (assuming that is why you are asking) then it could be the water pump.
