I got my car for fairly cheap because it was constantly overheating and the company kept on bringing it back to the dealer to get fixed. I ended up with similar symptoms as you shortly after purchasing it. It would run fine for a while then immediatley say it was overheating adn shut down. Let it sit for a while (sometimes a couple days) and sometimes it would say it is fine, other times it would say it is overheating. I ended up pulling out the coolant head temperature sensor and didn’t see anything wrong with it. Brought it to the dealer and asked them to replace it. Once they pulled the old one out and cleaned it off, there was a very small crack in it that was letting coolant in and it was shorting out.
It’s a fairly cheap part. I would just replace it. I also ended up soldering a new female connector on to the wiring harness because mine was so short it was being pulled almost 180 degrees from where it went into the connector and the wires were getting worn through. Since replacing both of those, I’ve had no issues with overheating.
