I recently had my timing belt replaced and now it continues to run hot. When it does the over flow container is bowling hot and steaming over profusely. What could be the problem?

Get the fill container replaced as soon as possible!! It's an easy job to do yourself.
Drain the coolant, replace the container, refill the system. Run the engine until at working temperature. Turn it off and let it cool down then re-check the coolant level.
If you are running the vehicle with not enough coolant you are basically 'cooking' the engine!
Running an engine 'Too hot' can cause parts to heat to the point where they will weld together causing Expensive damage.
Coolant runs at around 100*C so some steam is expected. If there is a lot of steam get the vehicle to a Good mechanic.

OK, the PS and Alternator are driven by the same belt in most cases. This is a common denominator. Make sure your serpentine belt is properly installed. If coolant is leaking on the belt, it could slip, causing both light and loss of steering, and connecting all three problems. This would come from the front water pump seal behind the pulley, unless it is on the timing belt. I would suspect the coolant leak and pinpoint that first. Check it cold, hot running, and hot cooling down after heating up. Be careful of steam and hot water.

Water Pump REMOVAL & INSTALLATION VG30E Engine The water pump is located in the front center of the engine. Fig. 1: The timing belt cover must be removed to fully access the water pump
NOTE: Be careful not to spill coolant on the timing belt when performing this procedure.

1. Drain the cooling system through the drain plug at the bottom of the radiator, and the drain plugs on both sides of the block. CAUTION
   Never open, service or drain the radiator or cooling system when hot; serious burns can occur from the steam and hot coolant. Also, when draining engine coolant, keep in mind that cats and dogs are attracted to ethylene glycol antifreeze and could drink any that is left in an uncovered container or in puddles on the ground. This will prove fatal in sufficient quantities. Always drain coolant into a sealable container. Coolant should be reused unless it is contaminated or is several years old.
   
2. Remove the upper radiator hose.
3. Loosen and remove the drive belt(s) from the water pump pulley.
4. To make the operation easier, remove the timing belt cover. If necessary, remove the thermostat housing and gasket for access.
5. Remove the water pump-to-engine bolts (noting different lengths) and remove the pump. If the water pump has excessive end play or rough operation, replace it. To install:
   
6. Clean the gasket mounting surfaces.
7. Use a new gasket and coat the gasket with sealant. Reinstall the pump and torque the water pump-to-engine bolts evenly to 12–15 ft. lbs. (16–21 Nm).
8. If the thermostat housing was removed, install it with a new gasket. Install the cruise control unit if removed.
9. Install the tensioner, tensioner bracket, air conditioning belt and adjust the belt correctly.
10. Install the upper radiator hose.
11. Refill the cooling system. Connect the negative battery cable.
12. Start the engine, run to normal operating temperature and check for the correct coolant level and for leaks.

VE30DE Engine The water pump is located in the front center of the engine. Fig. 2: Water pump location and torque specifications — VE30DE engine

1. Remove the splash shield on the passenger side of the vehicle.
2. Drain the cooling system. CAUTION
   Never open, service or drain the radiator or cooling system when hot; serious burns can occur from the steam and hot coolant. Also, when draining engine coolant, keep in mind that cats and dogs are attracted to ethylene glycol antifreeze and could drink any that is left in an uncovered container or in puddles on the ground. This will prove fatal in sufficient quantities. Always drain coolant into a sealable container. Coolant should be reused unless it is contaminated or is several years old.
   
3. Remove the upper radiator hose to access the upper water pump bolts.
4. Remove the small hose attached the upper part of the water pump. Fig. 3: Removing the upper radiator hose will allow better access to the upper bolts and the small hose attached to the pump
   
   
5. Remove the drive belts from the front of the engine.
6. Remove the tensioner pulley for the air conditioning compressor belt. Fig. 4: Removing the A/C belt tensioner will allow more room to remove the pump once it's unbolted from the engine
   NOTE: It is recommended that the crankshaft damper be removed to make water pump removal and installation easier.
   
7. Remove the water pump pulley-to-water pump bolts, followed by the pulley. Fig. 5: Use a prybar with a square edge to hold the pulley in place while loosening the bolts; then unscrew them by hand
   
   
8. Remove the water pump-to-engine bolts. Label each bolt, noting location, and bolt length. WARNING
   Failure to install the bolts of different lengths in their proper locations could result in a cracked timing chain cover, requiring time consuming and costly repair. Be sure to label each bolt and its location.
   
9. Remove the water pump from the engine. If the water pump has excessive end play or rough operation, replace it. Fig. 6: The water pump has to be carefully positioned for removal
   Fig. 7: Use locking pliers and carefully twist out the timing pointer if pump removal is difficult
   To install:
   
10. Clean the gasket mounting surfaces and grooves.
11. Using liquid sealant, apply a continuous bead to the gasket mounting surfaces of the water pump.
12. Install the water pump and torque water pump-to-engine bolts to 12–15 ft. lbs. (16–21 Nm).
13. Install the water pump pulley and torque the water pump pulley-to-water pump bolts to 4.6–6.1 ft. lbs. (6.3–8.3 Nm).
14. Install the tensioner pulley for the air conditioning compressor belt.
15. Install the crankshaft damper, if removed.
16. Install the timing pointer, if removed.
17. Install the drive belts from the engine and set the proper tension.
18. Install the splash shield on the passenger side of the vehicle.
19. Attach the hoses to the upper water pump and the main inlet pipe.
20. Refill the cooling system to the appropriate capacity.
21. Start the engine, run to normal operating temperature and check for the correct coolant level and for leaks.

Heater water control valve

This is in your engine compartment.

have u replaced the radiator and hoses? Thermostat could also be stuck open. Water pump could also be your issue. with motor cool and of remove radiator cap(cap may be bad as well) top-off fluid and start car check for fluid flow with flashlight. Water pumps typically leak from what is called a weep hole when the shaft seal fails. Yours will be located under the timing cover (drivers side) running of the timing belt.
Hit me up after u have check on these.

change the air flow meter.Hope that was helpfull

well it could be a stopped radaitor.but a friend had the same problem the water was going into the cylinder thus going out the tail pipe. check for alot of steam coming out.also the next time you add water leave a little low and look into resevoir to see if you see bubbles. remember dont open when its HOT,hope was some help
