It is a great place to start.
The car died? IF it shuts down, something is seriouly in need.

RE: overheating
Put on the heater full blast. If you get heat water is circulating through system and pump is fine. If low heat or no heat impellers are corroded and pump is done. You might also see some leakage from the seep hole on the water pump cover left front of engine.
