Help me fix my Boxster.

[99 Boxster]

75mph on the interstate and the red LED on my temperature gauge starts blinking.
Before I can get to the next exit my check engine light (CEL) starts rapidly flashing.
I put it in neutral and coast off to the shoulder and the car shuts off and every light on the dash comes on.
I wait 30 minutes but the car will not turn over again, but it really wants to. It says "vrig-jig-jig-jig-jig-j-j-jig"

Please tell me what's wrong with my Boxcutter? Tell me what to do, I'll do it. I will jack this thing up and pull out whatever you want me to. I will buy parts, I will replace them.

(Please don't tell me I have to replace the engine. I will hunt you down and kill you. haha, just kidding... well not really)

Hi,
Sorry to hear of your misfortune! I had an "un-fun" breakdown moment of my own so I'm well acquainted with that feeling.
Were there any other indications of failures? Funny noises, smells, vibrations, etc?
Did the temp needle peg out along with the red temp light?
What's your coolant level showing?
Check the oil level - is it low or showing empty?
Are there any leaks you can see?

I'm by no means the most knowledgeable here, but some basic scoop like that might help someone more technically savvy.

Were you close to home when it happened? Are you a member of PCA?

Hoping for the best for you,
Scott
