Heat not blowing hot air and car temp gauge goes high

My 2001 Chrysler town and country does not have heat (blows but does not get hot) and when I drive the car for a while the temp gauge goes up to the red. When I stop or turn the car off, the gauge goes down automatically to about half. I checked the Antifreeze and it is on about half in the holding tank and the fans are working while the car is idling. Could it be the thermostat?

Sounds like you are either low on coolant, or a head gasket failure.

SOURCE: 2001 pt cruiser no heat

did you check the fluid level by removing the rad. cap? Radiator should be full to top. If Chryslers are low on coolant, the heater will not blow warm air.

When the engine temp looks normal on the gauge but you get no heat inside unless your keeping the RPMs up by driving it,It usually means the fluid in the radiator is very low.wait until it is cooled completely and remove the radiator cap and fill completely,Check resovour and fill to correct level,

Heat blows cold air front and rear when sitting still or @ low mph.

Usually a sign of low coolant or a blockage in the circulation.

The heat blows cold and hot. Is it the resistor module or the themostat

The resistor controls fan speed, not temp.
If the heat comes and goes, it could be the thermostat, or the radiator could be low on coolant, or have air pockets, or one of the blend doors may not be working correctly.
The blend doors direct air thru the heater core and the vents.
