You need to test for spark, injection pulse and fuel rail pressure. do a scan and post any codes. If it overheated badly, do a compression test as well. start here.

Hello REYR,

I am sending you a link that if you decide to conduct the scan yourself it will be a great help to you. The link features an article with written step by step instructions and pictures explaining how to do the scan yourself. Also, I have included a link to our YouTube channel with a how to video on code scanning. In addition I have included a link to article on how to test compression.

This is applicable even if your check engine light is not on.

Most scanners are inexpensive to purchase, you can purchase one online from sites like Amazon.com
