Verify actual engine coolant temperature. Inaccurate dash gauges are common, as are failed engine cooling fans and defective radiators.

When was the last time tune-up services were provided? How old are the spark plugs and plug wires? Has the throttle body and the EGR passages been cleaned lately? There's a hundred things that could cause these problems.
