The engine stalls when the temp reads 200 and will not restart till the engine cools down. Checked fuel system ok, plugs ok top of engine whines loud before it dies.
The engine purs like a kitten for 30 min. until the temp reads 200.
Please help if you have had this problem.

The top of the engine isn't usually going to whine... There is a balance shaft parked under the intake, but its very rare that I have ever heard of one failing...

You may want to check the Alternator and see if the bearings are trying to sieze up... Alternators ( CS Series ) are very likely to either just quit charging, or have a bearing failure...

If the car is running at 200F which is normal, I wouldn't expect it to just quit... There are usually other issues at play when that happens...

You will need to pull the codes and tell us if you have any and what they may be... I'm thinking if you do have any they may be a code 17 or 18... Good Luck
