Running fine for several years then just up and died on the side of the road. The light came on for the water temp and within seconds I lost power and was lucky to pull off of the busy highway.

I had this problem a week after I got my car. The waterpump, thermostat were replaced due to overheating and engine light coming on. I went ahead and had the timing belt replaced also since it was a cheap part to replace and it did cost me anymore labor time.
