1996 C280 Limp Mode

I have 1996 C280 that is driving me nuts. Car died a month ago after the tempeture light went on. No Codes Was the Fuel Pump relay that went out. Fixed that now the car drives great till the tempeture gauge goes to 80 then the Idle is high and the car will not rev right. It also will not shift till you let off the gas. Any help is Appreicted. Harness waS replaced along with a new MAF, i AM STUMPED

It was tempeture related. I found the top hose collapsed leading to the radiator there was a slice in it where the clamp was installed. It seems to be ok Now, Will update again next week. I did not know these cars are that smart.
