Sounds almost like a Saab problem to me. I would guess one of three things in order of likelihood:
1) problem with cooling fans (does it only happen at idle?)
2) as you guessed, t-stat, if it occurs while driving and at idle, probably intermittently unless it is totally stuck. My experience with my companies full-size Dodge van is that is sometimes sticks. You gun it and it opens up. Don't ask me why we don't fix it.
3) least likely but coolant temp sensor failure (this causes our C900's CEL to come on
How are you sure it is not the waterpump? I am told that on our C900's that the impeller can just break off. This could have happened to the Mitsu and how would you ever know? Of course this would cause the car to overheat at all times.
Good luck. Don't let him cook his powerplant.
Ciao,
Mike, '93 900TC
