When your engine gets TOO HOT it redetonates the gas for one thing. Anyway, if you do not notice ANY water leaks then the radiator needs to be recored.
See if when the engine is hot is the fans are working if you have them. If they are not then do this. Hotwire them directly to the battery. If they work then you need another fan thermostat for them. Buy the book to tell you where it is.
If the fans are working and NO LEAKS detected then the radiator is clogged up. It has tubes with water running thru them. Enough get clogged up and not enough water running thru to properly cool off. Yes, you will still see water circulating but that is the water on top.
So if you see a leak replace the hose or hoses. Then check the fans. If they work, then the radiator is the culpurt. If your water pump goes out, you WILL notice that with water leaking.

Sounds like you might have a short or something along those lines on the neg battery terminal. The neg battery terminal leads to the starter and may not start when hot.

Carry the spark tester (link below) with you and the next time it happens, connect the spark tester and see if you have spark or not. If you don't, you troubleshoot from there.
