Check the radiator for debris...you'd be surprised how much stuff gets caught up in there. Vacume it out. How long has it been since the coolant was changed? If its been more than 5 years ... flush the system and change. (I flush mine every 3 years) That's where I'd start if it were mine. Just my .02 ....hope it helps
