no. are you sure it was getting too hot?
your car is old enough for the tstat to get stuck open.
this causes a too low temp issue, which will turn the radiator fan on, the ac will stop working, your coolant temp will read 0
by stopping (turning off), the residual heat and lack of air flow will reach acceptable temp.
this behaviour is intermittent as the tstat gets more and more stuck and harder to close. eventually becoming stuck all the time.
codes are thrown for this but it won't always cause a CES light to show on the dash.
