No cabin heat? 2000 ford Escort ZX2

Take the radiator cap off and check the coolant level. Don't use the overflow bottle level, it isn't usually accurate. If it is full of coolant then find where the heater core hoses run into the car, just under the intake manifold there are two rubber hoses next to each other, and see if they get hot when the engine is warm. Report back with your findings and I can assist you more.

Could it be a thermostatno heat had to add radiator fluid to overflow and it is not overheating on the guage

If the fluid was low, you have a leak . If there are no external leaks then you might have a head gasket problem.

When I turn the heater on it blows hot for about 30 seconds and then cools off to almost a/c temperature. What might cause this and how can I fix it?

You are probably low on coolant. Don't trust the level in the overflow bottle. Remove the radiator cap and check the level.

It is much more likely you are low on coolant or you have an air bubble trapped in the cooling system. You should bleed the cooling system to get any trapped air out and make sure it is full of coolant.

I have a 01 ford escort zx2 and it is making a whining noise from under the hood i have replaced the water pump and it still whines and the heater will start off blowing hot air but when you go several...

Remove the serpentine belt and run the engine to see if the whine still exists. If the whine is gone, try moving the pullies by hand to feel what pully is rough or has a lot of play. Your issue with the heat is likely separate from the whine. You have air in the cooling system. With the engine cold, remove the radiator cap. Fill the radiator to the top and run the engine until it gets to operating temp. The level in the radiator will drop, this is when you add more coolant and replace the cap. Make sure your overflow/resivoir bottle is half full with coolant.
