Once it cools, check the coolant level in the rad. Sounds like you have air in the system.

For anymore help, it would REALLY be nice to know what you are driving?

Ok, that helps.

Again, check the level in the rad, might also bleed any air out of the system.

Any recent work done to the car? If the coolant is low,,,,,it went somewhere, there might be a leak.

Keep a close eye on the level of fluid in the radiator and the tank. You want to make sure that you don't have a leak.

It could be a faulty radiator cap that suddenly can't hold pressure, then allows the coolant to boil over.
