The temp gauge has shown the car is overheating a couple of times in the past two weeks. However, it quickly goes back to about the midpoint and the engine is not overly hot when I stopped the car. After the gauge shows overheat, the engine starts acting funny and revs when I have foot on the brakes. Also is difficult to start after this. The high speed fan was staying also staying on when I shut off the car

Hi there, I had EXACTLY the same problem, with my 92 940.
It's the intercooled 2.383, and it took a while to discover that the coolant was leaking from, what seemed like, an Enormous hole.
But I only discovered it straight away after filling it up, after a good short run.(while there was still coolant in it:)
Put stop leak in, which worked, instantly.
I speculate, that, you may have warped the head, which would indicate your loss of oil pressure.
It all depends on how overheated it got.
Not good news, I know but hope it helps.
