how could you tell it was boiling... if you had the cap off it would defiantely boil because its sealed system to build pressure....

was it boiling out of somewhere... did you have something off of the engine at the time?

For starters: Thermostat, cooling fan clutch, clogged radiator. If it hasn't done it before, only at idle, I'd look to the fan clutch.

prolly a dented raidiator,do you have clean coolent? look in the coolant resevoir, is it dirty or is there oil(if you see some make sure it's oil and now moss or some crap)
