Probably, unless a cylinder has filled with engine coolant. In any case it is not a good idea to run an engine in that condition, if coolant mixes with the motor oil you can expect more damage to the engine.
What happens if you put too much coolant in?
If you use more water than coolant, then your car isn't protected against freezing conditions to as low of a temperature as the container may indicate. Also there is a possibility of rusting if you use only water (I've been told).

Rear defrost has nothing to do with the engine. Possible causes, low in coolant, faulty thermostat, air lock in the coolant system, faulty temp. switch, ( manual or electronic?) inside car. Did you replace anything? Add any antifreeze? Change any hoses?

Can a 1997 ford contour run without a thermostat on it?
No. No modern engine (and by modern, I mean any of the computer-controlled engines in use since for the last couple of decades) should be run without a thermostat. The computer senses many different conditions, one of them being coolant temperature, and the engine will not run at its proper efficiency if the coolant temperature is not being properly regulated.
What causes coolant to boil and overflow?
Engine coolant temperature is cooled by the radiator, moved by a water pump and controlled by a thermostat. If there are troubles with any of those components the coolant will boil Also if the head gasket goes bad gasses from combustion inside the engine will get into the coolant and cause it to boil.
What causes engine overheating?
I'm not a mechanic / technician but I can think of several things : In no particular order : - low engine coolant level , or no engine coolant because of a leak - engine thermostat sticking closed - restricted ( dirty ) radiator - water pump not circulating the engine coolant because of an impeller or belt problem - a problem with the engine cooling fan not running so air flows through the radiator any body else have any ideas ?

I.E., Engine coolant is any liquid that cools the engine by dissipating the coolant temperature through the engine's radiator.
