IT ALL STARTED ABOUT A MONTH AGO. IT GOT REALLY COLD OUT AND IT SNOWED ONE DAY. THAT NIGHT DIDNT GO OUT AND START THE CAR UP. NEXT DAY WENT OUT STARTED IT UP SOUNDED A LITTLE FUNNY, BELT WAS RUUNING SLOW, IF U KNOW WELL THAT WAS GOING ON. SO DROVE IT DOWN QUITE A BIT AWAYS AWAY FROM WHERE I WAS AT. STARTED RUNNING HOT, SMOKING, BUT I MADE IT WHERE I WAS GOING. PARKED THE CAR FOR A FEW HOURS, PROCEEDED TO GO HOME AND STRTED HEARING RATLING WHEN I PRESS THE GAS AND THE CAR STOPPED ON ME. SOMEONE PUSHED MY CAR ON A LOT AND I WENT BACK 2 DAYS LATER AND DROVE TO SAFER PLACE AND RATTLING PROCEEDED. DID HAVE GAS IN THE CAR IF WONDERING. COMES TO FIND OUT IN THE AREA WHERE U PUT THE ANTIFREEZE IT WAS A BLOCK OF ICE. SORRY BUT YES THE LAST THING I PUT IN IT WAS WATER!=( BUT IT EVENTUALLY THAWED OUT AND I DROVE IT HOME.

Chances are what Dave said is correct. However, make sure the system was properly bled. If there is an air pocket in the system, it can cause the vehicle to overheat and prevent the heater from working. Also, double check to make sure the coolant level is still full.
