white smoke means a good chance of blown head gasket. as for no heat, could be sticking thermostat or maybe it is a symptom of blown head gasket.

what does your oil look like? if it looks milky than you have a bown head gasket for sure.

Yipes.

Is there oil in your coolant?

I'll bet you have a blown HG as well. If you're fixing it yourself, download the CRX workshop manual found in the FAQ and get wrenchin'.
