Jess, as others have stated, there can be a lot of causes for over heating, 
more details would help the online diagnosis, how quickly does it overheat?, 
how high doesw the temp guage go?, was the motor recently rebuilt?


For example, if the temp pretty much skyrockets up after you start the car it 
may be blockage or a stuck thermostat, if slowly or only after a long time when 
idling more likely a radiator capacity issue, if while moving maybe something 
dragging or putting undue load on the motor.

Good Luck,

Greg
