When you say "boiling" what exactly do you mean? Bubbles in the reservoir? overflowing through the reservoir cap? When the cars running you will likely see coolant flowing into the reservoir which could make it look like it's boiling.
I had a reservoir cap on my 1999 9-3 that didn't seal well so it could shoot coolant past the cap after I shut the car off. The heat soak of the engine caused the coolant to "boil" over. If the cap sealed the system properly the pressure would have built up, but not caused the coolant to "boil."
If the car was overheating you would need the thermostat and sender to both be faulty and NOT throw a check engine code. That's pretty unlikely.
