well the light comming on are probably an electrical issue. Something may be grounding out. Is this a manual or automatic?

As for the overheating issue. It could be numorous things. But i would start with bleeding the coolant system

Loose connection maybe.. or alternator. Don't those indicator light go on when the alternator is no good. When i went over deep puddle and since idont have the splash shield i get those light appearing and flickering when water splashes onto it. Simple check is to check ur battery voltage to see if the alternator charging your battery.

you can take the car to autozone and they will test the alternator for free

i had the same problem on my toyota paseo, the problem was when i was pulling old wire from my speakers, i accidently pulled a ground that was for my charging system. even tho my battery charged i would get all those light signals and it would scare the creep out of me. so i would say check all grounds first, then do the bigger stuff ^^ my 2 pennies.
