have you attempted to clean throttle plate? I would suggest taking hose off of throttle plate.Hold it wide open and spray throttle body cleaner, (with it not running) let it dry if it is really black or gooey spray and wipe goo and fluid off with a rag.put back together.It may not be problem but if air filter was dirty throttle plate most likely is.

sounds like you dont have enough cranking amps find out what the cranking amps are for your battery then call an auto part store and ask themwhat cranking amps you should have for where you live this time of year.

I have hearing a lot of this lately with Fords. Most of the time this dash board light comes on due to problems with the Throttle Body (TB)not just your coolant,etc.. If it is sticking,dirty,causing misfires,etc. then this can cause an engine fail safe mode.You might first try putting in some injector cleaner and a higher grade of gas.Many people I know who have had this problem have had to have their TB cleaned and/or replaced. This is something Ford dealerships now about,but hasn't been made a recall or anything.There are service bulletins though.Mainly keeping cleaner in your gas and performing ritual tune-ups/oil changes may be the only thing you can do.Hope this helps
