Engine coolant temp sensor ?

Sounds like a major intake vacuum leak.
And as there's no sensors for that there will be no codes.
Quickest test would be a smoke machine test for the intake if you can find a garage with a test machine.
If you can't find a smoke tester equipped garage it a case of old school hunting for the intake leak.
