It wasn't overheating before, but my heating valve broke and was spitting coolant out. I changed the piece and added more coolant now the engine is overheating.

Hi,

How much coolant was lost? There is a chance air got into the system. Also, does the heater work at this time?

When the engine is cold, remove the radiator cap and confirm the radiator is full as well as the reservoir.

Let me know.
