With out seeing the car or the smoke, I can guess that you are leaking water into the combustion chamber. Have you noticed any unususal water loss or oil loss? Most likely cause for this is a bad head gasket or intake gasket.
Did you check that your compressor has gas? ( special refregiration gas for tht purpose).
also it can be that one of the vents is not working. you know when you put hot on the main board in the car, the vents inside the car change of possition to take vantage of the eat of the engine to heat the interior of the car.
Bad news, I had this happen once to my daughters Volkswagen Jetta, I replaced the head gasket and had the same symptoms you describe. i wound up having to take the head back off and took the gasket back to where I bought it and compared it to a new one and discovered that the holes in the one I had put on didn't match up with the new head gasket. The auto parts store gave me the new Head gasket at no charge because the other one was defective.
However hopefully this isn't your problem, it could be something as simple as a defective thermostat that just isn't opening after the engine reaches the correct tenperature. Check this first before tearing back into the engine.
. Yes it could. some are vacuum powered, cable powered (mechanically) or electric powered. If the valve does not open. The hot water will not get to the heater core. It could also be the thermostat not opening.
