Sounds like it was low on [coolant](/topics-coolant-ford/) causing weird readings on the sensor and that was your start issue, you first need to start with filling the system back up with water and pressure check to find the leak, once you find that if you have any questions about repair let me know, thanks.
Still not sure what you need?
Have a certified mobile mechanic diagnose what's wrong with your car, at your home or office.
