my 1994 chrysler lebaron le overheated. Now it cranks but wont start. Is there a possibility that it jumped time on me... It shut off while i was driving it. The check gages lights came on but when in minutes car shut down and now will not start. Engine cranks but wont start. What do I need to do to narrow down the problem?

Do a compression test you may have a blown head gasket and/or warped head.Also check coolant is it down? And oil look normal?

Start with the basics, and work your way up, Last tune up was? Wires plugs ALL filters? If all that is ok, check for a stuck EGR, then test fuel pump pressure, If it won't restart, determine what's missing, the engine needs three things to run, Spark at all plugs, gas to all cylinders, and compression in all cylinders, tho an engine may run lacking one in one cylinder, it won't run very well!
