Your water pump may have seized up which in turn snapped your timing belt. Get that checked out before you get your engine rebuilt. That is what happened to mine.

== == The clue is the over heating condition...........the engine is SEIZED, meaning it is stuck and needs to be rebuilt by a engine shop. If the engine cannot be turned over by hand, it is seized. Put the trans in neutral, and use your hands to try to turn the engine by pushing on the pulleys or by pulling on the belts. If it won't turn, it is cooked. When an engine is super heated, metal parts expand and get bigger, so that things that normally have clearance, now are hitting each other. Have it checked by a professional mechanic, to be sure about this.
