Have you checked out to see if your heater core is clogged? How fast and how offten does it?

Could be the water pump, or it could be the heater by-pass. Make sure that you remove the radiator cap, start the car, let it get hot (to open the thermostat), then add the coolant. When it is full, cap the radiator and fill the reserve reservoir to the full mark. This will ensure that there is not air in the system.
