When was last healthy tune up? Plugs, wires, all fluids & filters??? Especially fuel filter? I'd start there and run a good fuel system cleaner through it.

Cooling sistem ligth com on when turning the key on and stay on runing motor

Replace the temp sensor and then reset your computer. You can do this by unhooking "both" battery cables, waiting for 15 minutes then rehooking them up and starting the car. See if this takes care of the problem.

98 Pontiac Sunfire - Started and drove to work today as normal. Tried to start the car an hour later and it cranked and turned over but would not stay running. I'm told it may be a clogged fuel filter. ...

Try fuel filter if you haven't changed it recently. It is a place to start. If you have not tuned it up recently do that also. Always do preventitive maintenance first before thinking its a major problem.
