    are your heater core hoses hot? the lower hose is where cooled coolant reenters the engine. it should not be cold but will not be as hot as any other cooling system component. if there is no circulation (hose, radiator and heater core cool) then you may have a bad coolant pump. i've seen the impellers come loose or fall off.
