The first thing that comes to mind is the catalytic converter plugging up after driving a short distance and clearing itself after sitting for a period of time. Take it to a muffler shop for an expert opinion. The plugging of the converter would cause a huge power loss and the resulting restricted exhaust gasses would cause your check engine light to come on since the oxygen sensor would be giving the computer bad information.

What would cause the heater not to work in a 2000 Blazer?
I have 2006 Blazer. Antifreeze needs to be at right level or no heat. Instead of changing my thermostat for very cold temperatures I use a grill snap on guard that adds plenty of heat to the cab and is adjustable. Gasoline will not burn well if the engine is too cold in severe winter driving. If you are losing at lot of antifreeze use the copper sealer and not the aluminum sealers.

Can you still drive the car with a blown head gasket?
Of course you can, but the question is should you. The answer is, if you want to do some serious damage to the engine and eventually destroy it completely then keep driving it. Reason being is that the coolant will mix with the engine oil. This coolant is a poor lubricant and is very corrosive to engine bearings. it will cause severe engine wear. So stop driving this car immediately and do not drive it again until it is repaired.
