92 sputter and misfire ???
What I posted has happened about 6 times this year also did it today. Outside temp around 75-80 car temp maxed out at around 215.
Anyway will fire the car up in park and can hear it starting to act up coughing and misfiring so I press on the pedal and it gets worse like it wants to die but doesn't, after couple mins I accelerate in park put it in drive but it still sputters and misfires,this last for around 3-5 mins then goes away and starts running right.............. any ideas??

Might pull your icm and coil and have them tested. It could even be your opti but lets hope not.

Mine would bog and sputter then catch and run good I replace my front two o2s and runs great just a wag as I can not see it from here. How old are they? They are a maintenance item.

Had the car out today and reached 80 degrees outside, the max temp went up to 225* and stayed their so thinking that's when the fans kicked in, not sure but seems a bit high but maybe that's what their programmed for, not sure?

My 94 fans come on at 228 and 238 when moving at freeway speed will run about 197 it ran a bit hotter before I cleaned all the crap that was sucked up for years in the radiator.

No to get the crap from inbetween and clean the radiator. Thermo is easy to get to just do not let your opti get wet. Right by your thermo is a connection you might want to check it is one of your temp sensors that one goes to your digital.
