Hello, I took my car to several mechanic and doesnot know what's wrong with it. some says maybe the fuel pump, others said, maybe the radiator. Anyway, here is the problem. I noticed that this problem happens when its too hot. my engine would stop and I cannot restart. It stalled me several times that i have to wait til the engine cools off and then I would be able to start again. what do you think the problem? If I remember correctly, i was told that this car has a feature that the engine would shut off to protect it from overheating which would cause more damage. Please help>>>> can't afford to buy a new one. I would appreaciate everything.
thank you>>>>>>>>>thank you>>>>>>>

First thing I would do is check for any trouble codes. After that check to see what you are missing when it will not start. Are you missing spark ,fuel, injector pulse? That would be the first place to start if I were in your place.
