If you have much white smoke out the tailpipe then you need to redo the head and gasket.

Let's start by fixing the actual problem instead of chasing our tails.

For now let's ignore the over heating symptom. I'm not convinced your car is actualy over heating. Yes, the new water pump could have been good for several hundred miles then failed prematurely by 100-300k miles, or the thermostat could have failed . With out a thermometer proving the engine actualy over heated there is no way to know for sure. I doubt that the over heating is a problem, I think the guage reading hot is a symptom of the problem....still with me?

Let's also ignore the fact your car is randomly dying. That's not the problem...it's a symptom of the problem. Did any one else notice his engine dies when the guage pegs hot?......2 symptoms of the problem.

You have a massive list of fault codes listed.....probaly to many for the engine e to run with. Each of these are not individual problems....they are all symptoms of one problem.

So what are all of these symptoms pointing to?
A electrical problem.
What common point does every symptom listed have in common?
Grounding locations.

Your coolant temp guage and most sensors are all just variable paths to ground. If the ground d is poor....the sensor reading will be off....and the guage will be off.the ecm, fuel pump, and most of the sensors all share a single grounding point....the back of the intake.
Intake grounds through the head, grounds through the engine block, grounds through the transmission, grounds through the negative battery cable.
A poor connection along this grounding path effects sensors, guages, the ecm, and the fuel pump.

In my signature follow the link to my instructions on cleaning the grounding system.
