Could be clogged heater core. Also, check coolant level.

Make sure your coolant liquid is full.

Check in the morning when the car is cold.

NEVER REMOVE THE RADIATOR CAP WHILE THE CAR IS RUNNING!

Odds are you do not have enough coolant in the radiator and the reservoir bottle. Fill with the coolant liquid. To the top.

Check under the car for coolant leaks.

You may have to buy 2 bottles of coolant, buy the store brand and buy a radiator LEAK STOP liquid. Add it to the radiator, then add the coolant liquid.

See if any leaks. Hopefully the RADIATOR LEAK STOP
will work. IF not then you have hole somewhere. In the hose. It should be replaced. Let me know how it goes. The second day, check the fluids again with the car cold. Add coolant and then third day it should all be fine.

Let me know how it goes. Thanks.
