Not sure what the question is getting at, but yes it does. There is no dedicated coolant radiator specifically for the intake, it shares the same coolant system and radiator as every other water-cooled system in the vehicle's engine.

Can you use water instead of or as a coolant if you do not have coolant?

Yes. The best to use is of course is a mixture of water and coolant but just water will work fine in your vehicle. Add coolant when you can get some for the best cooling. But only temporarily in an emergency. Water alone was fine (when the temperature stayed above freezing) back in the 1950s, but today's engines need the rust inhibitors and other additives.

What do you put in the cooling system of a 1993 ford explorer can you put water instead of coolant?

I would only put water in an emergency situation where I don't have coolant available. The coolant helps the engine to not overheat and to not freezing, while that could happen if you just use water. If you don't have your vehicle's manual to know the specification of the coolant, you can use the generally available Prestone and add water according to the table on the coolant's recipient. (or you can buy the pre-mixed formula)
