Default Problems with HIGH Water Temp

OK, tonight when I got off work, my Girlfriend tells me that her LS/VTEC Motor is overheating...

When I checked the Water Temp gauge on the CTR Cluster... I noticed it slowly rise...

After driving it around it starts to decrease, but once the car returns to idle, the Temp Raises to an awkardly High Temp...

What could be wrong????

It worked fine from the start and the Motor has about 3000 miles on it.

Seriously???? What could have caused this???

Too Much compression???

Not doubting you, but would anyone else have any other conclusions to what it might be???

look at your exhaust and smell it, if there is white smoke coming from the tail pipe then its a head gasket, if there is no sign maybe your coolant is low, i doubt that you have an air lock unless you did a rad flush, and change the thermostat, work from simple to the more difficult.
