The invention discloses a cooling water high-temperature protection system of a gasoline engine and a control method thereof. The cooling water high-temperature protection system comprises an engine management system, a cooling water temperature sensor, a vehicle speed sensor, an air inlet temperature sensor and an air pressure sensor, wherein the signal output ends of the cooling water temperature sensor, the vehicle speed sensor, the air inlet temperature sensor and the air pressure sensor are respectively connected with the engine management system, and the signal output end of the engine management system is respectively connected with the execution ends of an air conditioner control system, a thermostat, a cooling fan, a radiator and an electric control injection and ignition system through control units. According to the cooling water high-temperature protection system, when the temperature of cooling water is high, heat can be dissipated to the maximum, and the heat of an engineis reduced, so that the cooling water is quickly cooled, the engine system can be protected in time before an alarm is given, hidden danger of an oil supply system and an ignition system is reduced,and metamorphic engine oil and detonation are avoided.
