99.9999999% sure its your wp.
- you have a 95 (before the 98.5/99 change to a stronger impellar
- you're bound to have over the 60-80K miles it NORMALLY(almost POSITIVELY) shatters at.
- you have no heat. The heater core is ffected by the circulation of hot coolant across it. the thermostat is after the heater core, so heat would still cycle through the heater core.
AKA.. Change your WP.
Don't pay to have it done.. at all.
Buy a wp with either a WHITE impellar, or a metal one (I'd go with the white one, personally) and grab a belt as well.
The changing procedure takes all of 25 minutes.. When you remove the WP., try to piece together the old impellar like a puzzle.. if you can get all the pieces, you're golden.. throw the new one on, and you're set.
If you can't piece it together, add another 25-35 minutes to backflush the coolant system completely.
Either way, check the codes (You have a 95, so you can do it yourself.. look on the main page of contour.org, under FAQ/Common Problems for the CEL listings and how-to)
Report the code back to us, and we will go from there.
DO NOT ALLOW THE CAR TO HEAT UP ANY MORE. Aluminum heads tend to warp with that heat. You may want to run a compression test on the engine to make sure it didn't warp.
