No start this morning, "engine coolant over temperature"

[cjldad]

Went out to start my '17 GT and it would crank and that was it.. Gave over temp light and "Engine Coolant Over Temperature" on the cluster screen..
Has less than 8k miles and ran just fine a couple days ago.. Any thoughts other than take it in?
Thanks!

Was thw temp gauge reading high also? If so maybe the coolant temp sensor shit the bed and needs replacing?

So some more info.. The analog temp gauge was showing low temp.. I was able to get the car to start by flooring the gas while it was cranking.. Once running I had no oil temp on my digital dash.. Showed only dashes.. The head temp was 194 and stayed there,

I'm thinking some rodents have had some fun under the hood and chewed a wire or two.. Car is at the dealership waiting for inspection next Tuesday...
Fun times...

Any word on what was the cause this is happening to me right now same trim and year as well. I'm at a lost here.

Sorry you are having problems.. It was a chewed through wire for the temp sensor..

Had my car towed to the dealer and my insurance paid to fix it under a comprehensive claim.. Was about a $700 job since the intake has to be removed. Good luck!
