I disconnected it and still it showed red on dash.


Do you think this will not allow engine to start ?

Well, here's to hoping your engine is not ACTUALLY so hot that the temp is at the red line. Does it pop up to that temp on the dial immediately? If so, highly likely that it's not actually that hot and that the ECT is fried. I would definitely replace thermostat and ECT. Very likely the end of your problems...unless of course you had an overheat issue recently???

Before replacing take a good hard look at the wires to the ECT just to be sure one didn't get clipped by mistake.

Please let us know how you made out.
