Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.com.

First, check to make sure it isn't low on coolant. The is the most common reason heaters don't work and engines get hot. Take a look through this link, specifically number 8.

Let me know what you find.

Take care,
Joe

Step 1 - A heater cannot operate unless the engine is full of coolant/antifreeze. If coolant level is low check the system for leaks.
