Default Problem that just popped up last weekend

When my engine in my 92 hits about 200 degrees the engine just shuts down. Have to wait about an hour for cool down before it can start up again. The fans come on but it still shuts down while driving. No codes.

Is it just "bam" it shuts itself off, or is it more that it runs really crappy?

Things that happen when the car warms up are usually related to oxygen sensors, but I've never experienced or heard of a car just shutting off completely when it goes closed loop.

You'll probably get more response on this issue in tech/perf.
