What does this mean?
Are you saying you ran your car with no coolant in the engine? The engine temperature gauge is actually a gauge that reads coolant temperature. If there is no coolant, the reading will be low or no existent- it won't read "hot".
There is no way you can keep that engine cool with just air flow.
Did you put coolant back in and pressurize the system to see if there is a head gasket leak? Perhaps a sensor (crank position sensor) fried out due to heat.
