Bro,
This is a model which should get a good attention on all of its parts. You should have a detailed idea on your car's parts, its condition, workability,etc.
So firstly try to figure out any kind of leakages from crank parts, gear/clutch assembly. This is easy to find when the car is parked for long time.
Then look out for any broken pipes, tubes, seals, cracks.
Any oil leakage into combustion chamber, plugs, etc.
Check plugs by touching the car body while cranking!!
Then check the distributor cables and the distributor.
I think this all about your Power lines, fuel pumps.
So please try and rate it!!!

Can't find where the temperature sensor is located
look for upper radiator hose.. follow it to the engine..the thermostat is located at that point and on or very close to this point there should be a small item with a wire or two connected to it..that should be the temperature sensor..the parts store can tell you exactly where it is at also..
How do i knw if my timing chain is bad?
Timing chains on 3800 engines do not go bad. The older 3.8 1987 back did. You need to put a crank sensor on it first also check the ign. module under coil pack for green gel that may be coming out of it. Clean the all three battery cables and replace the two bolts too. My 1990 lesabre 3800 has 295000 miles on its timing chain.
The starter good I was told it could be the key
Have you done some work to the vehicle lately that could have caused to codes to be affected? Because I have never heard of the key-code for an original key ever getting corrupted. You mentioned "Starter is Good" I still wouldn't think changing a starter would affect anything with the electronic ignition system.
How can I bypass the key code
with a resistor the same as the code there is 15 code and resistorVATS # (K)OHMS (Set your meter to the 20k ohm setting) 1---- 0.402 2---- 0.523 3---- 0.681 4-----0.887 5-----1.130 6-----1.470 7-----1.870 8-----2.370 9-----3.010 10----3.740 11----4.750 12----6.040 13----7.500 14----9.530 15----11.801 have a look to this document;

Will it start with a jump from another car or booster? You may just have a dead battery, or a bad alternator that isn't charging your battery. Usually it is one of the two. The battery doesn't hold a charge so it is junk. or the alternator/generator is bad and not charging the battery. Easy way to check alternator is, If the car will start with a jump? while it is running pull positive terminal off battery. If the car stays running it is the most likely the battery is not keeping a charge. On the other hand; if the car stops running when you pull the terminal off the alternator isn't providing enough electricity to charge the battery or run the car. There is also the possibility nothing is wrong and you left the interior lights on all night.

Overheats because engine coolant backs up into
That's not the cause. That is the effect of boiling. Start out by pressure testing the cooling system to locate any loss of pressure and repair it. It's possible that previous overheating has led to head gasket issues now.
