And? **Twenty six** year old car, with unknown mileage, unknown maintenance history, what are you asking? Are you asking if fixing your cooling systems is worth the cost? That is a decision only you can answer. Are you asking if your engine is toast? Ask your mechanic.

I assume you want to know what happened. There are a number of possibilities, especially considering the age of your vehicle:

1. The cooling system has a blockage and needs to be flushed.
2. There’s a leak in your cooling system somewhere and you finally lost enough coolant to cause a problem.
3. You had an incorrect coolant mixture.
4. The thermostat is stuck.
5. The cooling fan isn’t working, because the fan motor is bad, the fan _relay_ is bad, the temperature sensor is bad, or there’s a wiring problem.

A qualified mechanic can diagnose the problem and make recommendations.
