When recently driving my vehicle, I've noticed that the Temperature gauge was directly running on the hot side until the car basically, turn its self off. I then checked for coolant and it was not low. I touched the engine block and it was not ho either. Checked the radiator top and that was cold. Once the vehicle cooled down I begun to drive it some more. Next time when I stopped the car begun to create smoke coming from the engine. I then called a tow truck an got it towed to my house. The next morning I attempted to start the car but it would not start. Any suggestions. Thanks.

First thing is to check and see if you have fuel pressure and spark

You would need to obtain a fuel pressure gauge and a spark tester. Fuel pressure port is located behind the power steering pump. Fuel pressure should be around 55-60 psi
