is it just the light? or do you not feel any cold air blowing? could be a a light out.

as for the temp gauge, first thing I thought of was connections to gauge/meter or thermostat possibly?

well, if your getting no heat and the temp gauge is going nutty then your themostat might be stuck open. how many miles on the car? how old is the coolant?

it probably is a thermostat related problem, but integras are known for running on the cold side

if you cant get a new thermostat right away....i know its ghetto, but zip tie from cardboard or plexiglass in front of your bumper...it will deflect the direct of cold air allowing you to run warmer

so if it is always blowing cold air, you cant yet rule out A/C not working.

I think the hot air issue needs to be addressed before the A/C issue right now.

replace the thermosostate and coolant also and bout your ac it might be cause of the ambient temp up at maine wont allow the condensor and orfic tube to cycle and turn state of the freon also since the air is so dense already the ac wont do nething

how long did it run for? sometimes it can take a while to warm up. Um, make sure no air in the coolant.

When you operate the controls for hot or cold, there is a corresponding valve that is actuated near the firewall. This valve lets the hot coolant (oxymoron) into the heater core which will allow the air to be heated. I would check this valve and or the controls or linkage that operate it.
