If your car overheats and then wants to die or runs rough when trying to restart you may have warped or cracked your head and/or blown your head gasket. If the head is cracked there will probably be oil in your engine compartment or condensed coolant. If the head is warped and/or your head gasket blown coolant will probably be in your oil. Pull your dipstick and look at it; oil and coolant mixed together will have a thick milky appearance. If you don't find these symptoms compression test your cylinders just to make sure. It could be that you have two smaller problems at the same time ( for example a frozen thermostat and a bad fuel pressure regulator ) but my first check would be the head.

Is 4 cylinder equals 3000 Cm3 in a car?
Not exactly having 4 cylinders doesn’t automatically mean the engine is 3000 cm³. Engine size depends on the volume of each cylinder, so a 4-cylinder engine could be anywhere from around 1000 cm³ up to over 2500 cm³ depending on the car. For example, when cars come in for routine checks at Metrowest Car Service, the mechanics often point out that two cars with the same cylinder count can have very different engine sizes and performance. Are you asking this because you’re looking at a specific car, or just curious about how engine sizes work?
