Answer
Hi Miguel.
 Check your coolant level.  If it is low, then you need to refill the system.

There is also the possibility of one or more of the following;

1)  Bad thermostat.

2)  Clogged coolant system.

3)  Bad water pump.

The repair manual has the troubleshooting and test proceedures to determine where the problem really lies.

Good luck.
