That Bars leak is not a good idea. You also added a lot using two different leak bandages. It may have coated the temp sender and/or computer temp sensor so it now does not give a proper reading. Fowled the Thermostat. Plugged the small passages in the radiator.
The car may have been over heating and the computer detected that and shut it off.
Need to find and fix the leak properly, flush the cooling system real well and hope for the best.
You may also have an air pocket in the cooling system.
