I have no heat in my car, but my tempureture gauge shows my enigine is overheating on tempureture and its stucking down my coolant. What could be wrong with my car?

No heat would indicate a waterpump or blocked heater core.

Could also be a headgasket/intake manifold gasket leak.

I have also replaced the therostat for good measures because it is such a cheap part but that still failed to fix the problem.
