I had my radiator replaced. Car started for a few hours after replacement. I left to go to store and it started just fine. After about 10-15 minutes it would not accelerate, then it shuts off. Sat on the side of the freeway for two hours. I checked the dipstick to see if I had a blown head gasket. No oil at all. I had someone bring oil, car started but sputtering, high rev, then shut off. I waited for another hour or more. I got a jump then it would not go over 40 mph and shut off going up incline. Now it just clicks when you try to start it. Is it my starter because I have a brand new one on my back seat. Please help me, I am stuck on the side of the freeway.

Try resetting security system then it will need scanning for codes check battery for condition including a load test. Here are a couple of links to helpful articles in this site that can help you.
