Stalls after warming up and won't restart until cold

Any ideas on why my 1993 900s (123K) stalls after about 3 minutes. I start the car but some 3 minutes later it dies out and won't restart until the engine is totally cold. Here are a couple of observations 1) It looks like water or some moisture is coming out of the tailpipe 2) As soon as I start the car, both cooling fans are on, which makes me wonder if there is a problem with the thermostat. After a minute or so the passenger side fan goes off the but the drivers side keeps running.
Then if I rev the engine, a few minutes later it dies out and won't restart. It cranks but the engine won't turnover. A few hours later when its cold, it will start again.
Is there some sensor telling the car its overheated or something? Or is there still an electrical problem such as coil that shorts when it gets warm? The fuel pump unit in this car was replaced about 18 months ago and head gasket was replaced a few years ago. Thanks in advance
