The parts you installed are probably misweired re check wireing and fireing order ==you can find the fireing order on the intake manifold or get it from the auto parts store ==all of the parts you put on had nothing to do with the original problem that was over heating plus you kept running it until it would over heat again and again and againand again you may have caused severe engine damage if you were lucky enough not to have damaged the engine and can get it running you must repair the over heating these items must br checked radiator cap [pressure test ] radiator flush , thermostat , water pump and hoses

In response to the answer I received...Checked all those parts to begin with and they are all fine.Radiator is holding and circulating, hoses are new, and water pump is fine also. Have rechecked the firing order 3 times, its right. Could it be a sensor? Have also replaced fuses and fuel pump sensor. Its really baffiling.

Have you checked the voltage at the coil pak and yes there is a timing sensor and a map sensor are you getting any spark at all also check to see if you are getting fule to the injector . when you turn on the ignition s/w [ not start] you should be able to hear the fule pump until it reaches pressure for the injector it will be a chattering sound ==if you have spark and the fuel is getting in the engine then you may have a timing issue if the sensor is good you could have jumped anotch or two on timing belt==it may have happened when the engin quit running your engine is also computer controled and that could also be a problem once you have taken care of the basics it may need to be put on a diagnostic computer at a shop good luck
