You need to have your head gasket replaced. When you change it be sure to check the head for flatness and cracks. A bad head gasket will cause your over heating issue as well as your rough running condition. Good luck and hope this helps.
Overheating: Check all liquid levels, low oil, or low radiator fluid can make it over heat.
Stall out: Check ALL fuses, my Mazda constantly stalled out. When i checked the engine fuse (usually the biggest one) it was all corroded and made horrible contact. (Engine fuse usually under hood in large black box)
Smoking: You may have spilt oil on the engine, or your flex pipe on the exhaust may be wearing out, leakin exhaust into the engine bay.
Check your water pump. Its a pain in the butt to change, but it could cause these problems.
