Either the system is clogged or theres a leak, or your thermostat is stuck closed and your heater core is stopped or out.

Hi there, have you checked the colour of the oil in the motor, if not clear or normal and have a milky look, it sounds like the head gasket is on the way, it will still drive but the symptoms sound like the head gasket, Check the oil. Hope this will be of some help to solve the problem

No heat

are you getting any air into cabin?? cause if you ar getting air but its not coming out hot then it may be a bad heater control valve. If you are not getting any air period then its a bad blower motor or blower motor relay.

My 01 grand am gt is overheating the cars heat will only blow cold air and alot of thick white smoke comes out of the exaust

White smoke is a sign of burining antifreeze. When heater is not blowing warm air, that is a sign of faulty heater core.
No power, coolant loss, overheating, is sign of headgasket leak.
Double check your thermostat as well.

My husband changeted the radiator hose on my v6

Are U sure the coolant is full and all the air is out of the cooling system? if the engine was badly overheated then u may have damaged the cylinder head gaskets, this can cause the cold air as well as low coolant..

Heater not blowing warm air in 1996 pontiac firebird.

one of three things can be wrong, your water pump may not be working, if so your car will over heat.. if not, its either jus a disconnected vacuum line or your heater core could be going out

1994 pontiac firebird HAS NO HEAT

Okay. warm up vehicle, get radiator hoses hot.  Turn on heater, fan on low.  Grip both rubber heater hoses close to the firewall, from the engine compartment side.  They should be too hot to hold for long.  If they are not hot, then you have a lack of coolant circulation to the heater hoses.  If they are hot then access heater core, behind glove box area.  Blend door which moves as you chose HOT or Cold, should be cable controlled, move the controls and be sure the door is actually moving. Keep me posted

Heater and AC Occasionaly Does't blow.

Fan switch could be faulty. If you can look close at the back of the switch, see if it looks like it has been overheated.
