Re: cooling issue?
If the car is shutting off as in no running at 220, then it's alot hotter than 220, so don't trust your guage anymore. These cars are designed to run at that temp. Sounds like a bad fan switch - located in pass side head, between #6 & #8 plugs. Take the single wire connector off by squeezing it at the ridges, then poke a wire in there and ground it with the key on, and see if the fan comes on then. If it does, replace the switch - watch the coolant, you'll get a face full - you'll have to add more after the swap.
