Have the computer scanned to identify why the check engine light is on. It could be related to the overheating. Most parts stores will do it for free. As far as the heat, that tells me circulation could be a problem. Make sure none of the hoses are collapsed. Also, with the heater on, see if both heater core hoses get hot. If they do, the blend door isn't working. If only one gets hot, there is no flow through the heater core.
