If you suspect overheat has caused a problem, you first need to run a compression test. That way you can eliminate some of the problems that are often caused when an engine is overheated. As you're pulling the plugs for the compression test, make sure the plug colors are even, and light to medium grey. Any dark or damaged plugs can indicate other problems. If the compression test indicates that all cylinders have good, even compression and you just have a dark plug, you may have dodged the big expense. Good luck.

It depends entirely on what you mean. If what you mean to say is the car dies on the middle of the road, then it could be overheated, or require an oil change. It you have a rough idle at normal operating temperature, then it sounds like you need to clean your fuel injectors.
