I was driving my car and it lost power and instantly the temperature gauge went fom the middle to the red zone. It wouldnt start after but tried. The next day it started but died four times.

sounds like it overheated and you may have damaged the head gaskets.

have a leak down test done to confirm the gaskets are not damaged and then you need to find out why it overheated
