Default Just lost the Heat

Car all of a sudden wont blow hot. I came home (in another car), looked under the car, and noticed a pool of coolant. Not sure if they are related or not as it appeared as though one of the hoses may have been loose. Anyways, I re-seat the hose, and begin to refill/burp radiator. I turn on the heat while im doing this and it doesnt get hot.

I had heat 2 days ago. I manually move the heater control valve on the firewall and no luck. It blows cold but no heat. Any ideas?

it sounds like you may have a clogged heater core or a bubble in it. when you 'burped' it did you have heat set to max. that whould be about the only thing that whould stop you from getting heat.

tyr to jack just the front of the car up and get coolant funnel kit from a parts store or something set it up to the radiator filler and burp it that way usually you the need the coolant to be higher than the motor if its a stubborn burp
