My car kind of misses out when I drive it, someone told me it could be my spark plugs. But today I was driving it and it's really cold outside so my heat was on high. I noticed it stopped getting hot and the hot and cold meter started moving up to hot and almost made it all the way to hot. What could cause this? Also I just got my radiator completely replaced.

Make sure the coolant has a low freezing point. Also, make sure the coolant level is full and there are no air pockets.

Let me know what you find.
