overheating then no starter

If you have the required voltages on the starter hot leads I would put a socket & ratchet on the harmonic balancer and make sure that the engine hasn't seized.
Driving one hot enough to shut down is a very bad thing, I have seen many in that condition that locked up tight, sad but true...
My 2 cents

I agree.... PLEASE make sure to pull the EFI fuse or, better yet, disconnect the battery first!!!!!!

something you're taught in auto school, unplug the negative battery and remove the fuel injection fuse/fuel pump, and hopefully that bad boy turns when you take the ratched to it ;;
