The important thing is to stop it quick- before you blow your engine- start with coolant levels, look for leaks, check radiator for corrosion, maybe the thermostat? etc. etc. etc.

How do I stop overheating On my rokam 2005 ford ikon
Remove your thermostat housing which is situated on the top right hand side of the engine by loosening the bolts and pipes, usually it will be the housing that is blocked or the thermostat that gave up and you will need to replace it. Also check your pipes to see if they are clear from dirt that may have caused a blockage. Could also be the waterpump. And lastly also the gasket.
my ikon 1.6 xl was overheating, the problem was the small water pipe on the left hand side was blocked.
Check the temperature switch.
When you fill the cooling system , make sure you use anti-freeze and not pure water only. You must also check the thermostat on these engines. As they get older, they are susseptible to sticking. Is the cooling fan operating when it should ? To check this, switch the ignition to ON and remove the Engine Coolant Temp sensor plug. The cooling fans should run at full speed.
