Any CEL lights on the dash? Maybe your Crankshaft sensor or camshaft sensor is culprit.

Is there overheating? You mention it will start after it cools down.

I'm not really following what the problem is. You say you think that it has no oil pressure but the gauge reads fine. What problems or issues are you actually having?

No overheating now, but i was not in the vehicle when it stalled. It is rattling and sounds as though it is overheating. i think it was low on oil and i'm not being told. No cel on.

Sounds like you are being fed info from someone else? Hard to answer 3rd party info w/o knowing anything for sure.

Disconnect the oil pressure sensor by the oil filter and connect a mechanical gauge. Verify pressure. Then narrow down what the noise is and where from.
