Answer
Hi, can you give me the following details. (In your own language, I will translate it myself for precision)

I need to know:

Condition of coolant and oil.

-------------------------------



Also: Is there a coating of thick black soot in the end of the exhaust or is it fairly clean/totally clean inside.

To go as far to answering your question as possible with the information you gave:

Excepting cooling system failure; I think you have a bad sensor on the engine, could be crank sensor, cam sensor, O2 sensor.... and on and on.

A diagnostic scan is the only way to know which sensor.

Or, if the failure is being caused by overheating: cooling system failure.
