  Very hard to say without testing it first hand.

  I would want to see if spark or fuel are missing (if either) when the failure occurs. Then I would pursue the missing element.

  If the concern is due to an internal engine issue, like a coolant leak causing the heat issue as well -- you could be looking at something more significant. But it's all guesswork right now.
