Sounds like the symptoms of a head gasket failure. I'm on my phone, so I have limited internet privileges. There's an FAQ floating around. Use the search feature with key words like overheating, head gasket, etc.(don't use etc. Haha)
Edit. Thankfully this topic is heavily discussed here and this thread was actually a few threads down so I could snag the link. Thanks sdaj!

Although it sounds like it's the headgasket (hard start, stalls and won't run do to coolant in the cylinders) I would check for codes also as sensor could be throwing it off too: http://check-engine-light-codes.blog...retrieval.html
