Thank you for the responses.

I was able to temp patch the hose with some hose tape and fill it back with water. It would not start at that point I was thinking that the engine was still too hot or that some ECU fault had occured which may cut off the fuel supply. I have a compression tester and will do compression tests tomorrow, the mean time I am very stressed out about the possibility of having to replace the head gasket.

I had done a search previous to this post and found numerous examples where a head gasket failure will in fact cause hoses to blow off. Here is one example.

Several years ago I had this personal experience with another car where a leaking head gasket caused pressure in the cooling system. The car blew out several hoses of the course of a few months before the head gasket leak was diagnosed. That car was a 92' Eagle Talon TSI.

My original question is....

Is there a saftey measure which prevents the engine from turning over when it is too hot by cutting off the fuel and or ingnition coils?

I have searched google exhaustivly and I can not find any information on this.
