You dont say if it overheated it not. So if it did overheat first put a socket and wrench on the harmonic balancer (crankshaft pulley) bolt and turn by hand clockwise to ensure the engine is still turning if the engine turns by hand then you have an electrical connection issue. First make sure your battery has 12.5 volts with a multimeter next make sure battery terminals are clean and corrosion free next look at cables going from the battery to ground and battery to fuse box and starter and make sure the connections at the starter are good. Chances are you have a either loose or corroded connection
