No heat in your car may be from your water pump going out and not feeding your heater core with enough water to produce heat. First remove your thermostat and see if your car stops over heating. If it doesnt, then you need to replace your water pump. Hopefully you havent cracked your heads. If your car doesnt over heat after removing the thermostat, but you still have no heat in the car. Then its your heater core that needs replacing. Always replace your thermostat whenever replacing the water pump.
