1990 - hard start and overheat

My 1990 cherokee (182,000mi and counting) has been having a hard time starting...it's got a new battery and starter...i heard it might be the fuel pump so i'm letting that prime by turning the ignition to on for a while before i try to start her up...i was wondering if anyone had a definite fix for this problem...
and to add to my issues, she went and overheated on me today...after a standard 15 min drive i parked her and she overheated...no clue why...the cap on the coolant resevoir was a bit loose, but i don't know if that could have been from all the boiling going on inside...
i know NOTHING about automobiles (i can't even find the bloody radiator cap) so any advice would be greatly appreciated...
