Thermostat?, or is the cap on the overflow bottle tightened all the way.

My car did this just idling in the driveway, They replaced the thermostat and bottle cap when they fixed my gasket leak, havent had the problem since. Is your fan kicking on????? That's all I can think of............

i bet you it was your cap.... at one time my cap on the reservoir was stripped out, it just wouldn't tighten, in turn my car continually ran hot and all my coolant was evaporating away... new cap solved problem..
