95 C280 running hot

Over the past few days I've changed the thermostat, cleaned the condensor (which was VERY dirty), and flushed the motor and put in a 50/50 coolant and water mixture. But today again while driving on the freeway with the a/c on it climed again to almost 120. The Aux fans seem to be coming on at about 100.
Something else I noticed was at times the car will start running kinda ruff. It's only noticable when your taking off from light to light, but when it starts running ruff, the temp starts to climb. If I shut the car of for a few seconds and restart it, it usually takes care of the ruff running, and won't get any hotter.
Don't know if this is related or not but it makes me thing that my problem could be electrical related or a sensor of some type, because I've pretty much changed out all the comon problems that cause overheating.
I've also noticed that even when the car is up around 120 the upper radiator hose dosn't always have preasure on it.
