I have a 95 Grand Prix with the same problem,3.1 engine. I hope it is only a bad head gasket or gaskets and not the heads as they are not cheap. The problem i am having now is that the breaks seem to have locked up as if you were pressing on the brake pedal.If you know anything about this let me know.... if its a 3.8 or a 3.1 the are more common for the lower intake manifold gasket to go bad. to anser your question u either had one of three thing wrong and it could be the calipers are hanging up, the hoses have colapsed or the e-brake has frozen on.

How do you know if engine block is crack?
You need to have it tested by a knowledgeable mechanic. They use some kind of blue liquid that should stay blue during the test. If it turns yellow, you have a problem. If your car is running hot and nothing else has solved the problem (thermostat, radiator flushed, leaking radiator, hose or pump..., you should have it checked.

Can coolant be checked with a volt meter?
if you can read voltage in the water of a radiator , then there is a problem and the water needs to be drained and flushed and new antifreeze installed . if you are using full strength antifreeze, it must be mixed 50/50 with distilled water only. never use tap water in a radiator ! Thanks Jim TAnother viewThere is a specific problem that can be checked with a volt meter, I do this every major service (spring and fall) I check coolant voltage with engine running to engine block and chassis.If you read more than the error level for the meter you have a ground problem and this is grounding through the cooling system and will damage the cooling system. Most likely the radiator

First of all, check the thermostat, the radiator fan, radiator hoses, water pump, radiator leaks. P.s. If you install a radiator fan universal and it don't place really close to the radiator, you can have that problem

Why do the the fans keep running for a minute after you turn off your 2000 Buick regal?
The radiator cooling fan will run to cool the radiator to below the fan turn on temperature. You may want to have your cooling system checked if it happens regularly as your Buick may be running hotter than normal when driving.

try checking your cooloing fan. make sure it is running There is no air getting to your radiator as you are not moving! Or there is a problem elsewhere in your cooling system!
The hoses and thermostat are changed and the radiator is less than a year old. Why is the car still running hot?
Bad water pump , problem with engine cooling fan ( if it is actually running hot and not a problem with the gauge or sending unit )
