could be the timing belt snapped...that would stop the car and wouldnt allow you to restart it..BUT i dont know why it would have the temp rise....

because the crank wasnt turning so no water pump or fan

if the timing belt snapped the crank would still turn...so would the crank pulley...which is what the accessory belts are attached to....so i dont think that would cause it....

When the timing belt snaps the motor stops because the valves can't move!!!
there controled by the cams(It happened to me) so if the motor isn't on how can it over heat????:dunno:

took off my cam cover today and the timing belt is still intact. i think i spun a rod bearing or some other worse case scenario. motor will be removed tomorrow, and torn down. unless there are other ways to test to find out what's wrong. i did a compression test following the instructions on the cygnus website, but all i got was a 28 psi reading. i cranked the engine like 4-5 times but the needle just wouldn't rise. HELP!!!
