Run a fuel leakdown test...key on engine off you should have 60psi and no less than 55psi after ten mins.
Spark should be brilliant blue/white. Yellow/orange spark will not work.
As for overheating ;
Start with the basics. Exchange the coolant. Be sure to burp the system. Next step would be to replace your thermostat.
good luck
