Check your coolant temperature sensor. Make sure the wires are undamaged, and the connector is clean. I've heard of rare occasions when an inoperable one would prevent a car from even starting. It may be killing your engine due to a short, a faulty sensor, or a corroded connector.

It's at least a start. I'll do some more research.
