you may have broken the timing belt which runs the water pump which may have caused the overheat. does it sound like the engine is freewheeling when its turning?

if theyre moving then youre right, its not broken. now all you need to do is check for fuel, air and spark if its a gas. if its diesel, then you may have compression issues. also check the wires on the engine and the plugson the ends of the wires. they may be going to a sensor for the engine and were damaged when they got too hot
