diagnosis is ???

Picked up car on Monday from shop who had repaired cracked coolant hose. '92GP - 3.1 ~135,000 miles

Car began overheating later that day. Coolant was low, so I refilled coolant and had to bleed air out of the system as well!

Today, I'm driving home, temp is fine. On highway for about twenty minutes and I lose acceleration capability. Pull off highway - temp still fine - and engine dies when I come to a complete stop. Will not restart.

Is this coolant related? I pulled dipstick and the level was overfull! - but it was too dark to see if it was cloudy at all.

HELP PLEASE!!

Re: diagnosis is ???

you might have had a intake gasket go. thats common on those 3.1 liters. It might be internal... thats why the oil level is high. check the oil cap. pull it off and check under it to see if it has foam on it. if it does its internal. I dont know why your car died though
