I do not have any leaks in my water system on this car. Could the ratio of anti freeze to tap water cause a problem in overheating? Could the radiator need cleaning? Could the heater thermostat be the problem?

Any ideas?

Any of the items you listed can cause it except the coolant to water ratio. It should be 50 - 50 but even straight water doesn't boil until 212 °F.

Explaine what is happening.
