We have no info on this car, but check your resistor for your blower and see if it is getting power if it is the resistor may be bad, it may be by the blower. Check for a closed water valve if you have one for heat, if not check actuators in heater. Make sure both hoses going to heater are hot. You can also back flush heater by hooking a waterhose and turning on water, you may have got some of the "gooey stuff" in your heater as well.
