Default Need help diagnosing my car.

Well my car is a 95 850 GLT wagon non turbo w/ 140k miles. When i was on my way to work a few days ago the heat went out then shortly after the car died and would not start. So i had it towed back to my garage. I car is getting spark and fuel, i also tested the battery and alternator and they are good also. The motor turns over but will not start. Any body know why the heat would go out then the car die and not start again. Also read the codes p0300 p0400 p1310 p0116. Please help.

The only one from the codes that might lead me to the car not running would be the Coolant temp sensor.
It might be dumping to much gas and flooding the engine.

Also check for injector pulse at the injectors.

Here is a link to a site for the codes. It just tells the discription.

Thanks for the help. But i drained the oil earlier today and almost half of it was coolant, So im guessing headgasket or possible bent valves from timing belt.
