Will a water pump cause a car to turn off?

Which is better 87 octane or 93 octane non ethenol gas?
There is no better. If your car is designed to run on 87 octane then using 93 octane is a total waste of money. The higher octane will provide no more power, no better fuel economy, and is of no benefit to the engine whatsoever. In fact using a high octane fuel in an engine designed for 87 octane may actually cause hard starting. Use exactly the octane as recommended by the manufacturer of the vehicle. Saying that, if your car is designed to run on 93 octane then using 87 octane can be detrimental to the engine due to pre-detonation that will be caused by running the lower octane fuel. It depends on whether the manufacturer recommends the use of higher octane fuel or says it is mandatory. Most vehicles built in the last few years where 93 octane is recommended can run on 87 octane with a slight loss in power. The engine fuel management system will adjust for the lower octane and there will be no harm to the engine. The bottom line is to use exactly what the manufacture recommends.
Do you have to use 91 octane gas in a 1996 Cadillac Deville?
Use exactly what your owner's manual states. If it says 89 or 91 octane then do not use 87 octane. Using a lower octane that required may cause pre-detonation or what is commonly called (Pinging). Pinging may be harmful and may cause engine damage. Bottom line is to use no lower or higher octane fuel that the engine was designed to run on. Using a lower octane can cause engine damage, and using a higher octane is a waste of money that will provide not benefits whatsoever, and is nothing more than a myth.
87 and 91 gas?
Use exactly what your owner's manual lists. Using a higher octane than your engine was designed to burn, will provide no benefit whatsoever. No more power, no better mileage, and in fact can provide poor starting, and in some cases, harm the engine. Besides the fact you are paying more for high octane fuel you do not need. Using a lower than required octane can cause less power and pinging. This can eventually do damage to your engine. It is a myth that a higher octane fuel provides any benefit to an engine not designed to use the higher octane.

Would the radiator fan not working cause overheating?
Yes, if the radiator fan is not working, it can cause overheating of the engine. The radiator fan helps to cool down the engine by pulling air through the radiator to remove heat. Without the fan, the engine may not receive adequate cooling, leading to overheating.
