You should probably check connection at sender unit on engine. It could also be the sender unit. It is definitely not a coolant problem.

Same thing happened to my Zetec, scared the shizzle out of me. The temp sending unit for me was only about $23, and it's pretty easy to get at (On a Zetec, that is )
PM me if you need instructions on how to change it out, I'd be glad to help!
I have always heard Zetecs run high sometimes but all the way up to the red... Damn B That takes the cake...
