    Probably blew it up.............. And i bet you if he keeps revving it, it's going to seize.

    What was the cars temp before it stalled the first time, any coolant any where.

    You didn't give much info in what you had done/checked so its a bit hard for anyone to help. Confucius once said to get the right answer you must first ask the right question

    Possible vacuum leak. If an Ecotec, check the 3 hoses behind the plenum chamber, and very importantly check the one under the throttle-body.
