no heat
i have a 1995 lexus sc300 2jzge and i have no heat i recently replaced the thermastat because of my overheating issue and still no heat and its still running hot now i know it can either be the heater control valve or the water pump or the air blender door there are no leaks even with a pressure test. information is really needed

I think his water pump or something took a crap. Cause the heater core needs coolant circulating to keep warming the air. To top it off his car is still running hot, so in all sense he should have heat like hardcore.

taking the radiator cap off
starting the engine
letting it reach opp temp
adding 50/50 water and coolant
and reving the engine to relive air pockets
and topping off the coolant when no more bubbles are visible
putting the radiator cap back on
30min for me

Glad your car is good. I have seen clogged heater cores before and its a pain to clean them out! I had to clean out an old Caddy heater core once. Popped off the heater hoses and put some pressured water up to one of the heater hoses. Cranked up the pressure and about a gallon of rusty muddy water shot out all over the wall and ceiling! But problem was solved. Heater worked great after that.
