If it's an older vehicle - no. But a newer vehicle might just be clever enough to monitor the coolant level and refuse the engine to be run empty.

Would overflow of antifreeze and engine coolant make engine smoke and smell like burning?

Yes, an overflow of antifreeze or engine coolant can cause smoke and a burning smell if it spills onto hot engine components. When coolant leaks onto the engine, it can vaporize and produce smoke. Additionally, the coolant can burn, creating a sweet, acrid odor. It's important to address any coolant overflow promptly to prevent engine damage and ensure safe operation.


Why would a 1996 buick regal stall after heat stop working?

Make sure you have engine coolant. If the engine isn't getting enough coolant, it will overheat, stall and possibly destroy the engine. One symptom is that no coolant is circulated into the heater. Also check the crank sensor, but check coolant first...then the crank sensor.
