Noises problem
1995 Nissan Maxima 6 cyl Wheel Drive Type unknown Automatic 161000 miles

I have a 95 nissan maxima, and I am having some minor problems with the car. For 1 my heater is not working, when I turn the heat on it is only blowing out cold air and it does not want to heat up. I am only 20 mins from work and it still doesn't get warm at all.
The 2nd question is a little more detailed. When I am driving the car for awhile and I stop at a red light or a stop sign the car seems to want to stall. The oil light starts to flash and the car stalls. It does take me quite a while to get it started. But if I put the car in Park it is fine. And by the time I get home the car is smoking under the hood What can be the problems? Can you please help me. I am a single mother with a 8 yr old daughter. I just want the car to be safe and not break done with her in the car.

Thank You
Nichole

Maam all I can tell you is that if the motor is smoking and overheating then you probably have a blown head gasket check the oil dipstick and if there is any milky white color to it at all then its definitely a head gasket also if the radiator overflow boils like it is trying to throw all of the water out of it then the head gasket is done Sorry for the news im in a similar problem with mine.
