My 2000 LS is overheating and very little to no interior heat. Any ideas what it could be? Stuck thermostat? Please help!

it might be your heater control valve

Did anyone ever figure this out? I am having the same issues.(Temperature reading hot, then showing normal after turning off the engine for a couple of minutes. Also, running the heater will prevent this.) Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My guess is you have an air bubble which becomes superheated pressurized steam and when that hits the coolant temp sensor it spikes the temp. Restarting the car moves the bubble as does turning on the heater.

I bled the coolant system this weekend and so far that seems to have done the trick. Thanks akirby.
