You could try a different thermostat. If you're not getting heat in the car, it is probably a heater valve issue. If the knob (or what ever you said was missing) isnt' there, try to adjust it manually, either from the engine compartment or by removing the screws that hold the "tray" part of the dash down and make it so you can manipulate the cable with your hand...it's a trick we all have had to use.
You still need to go get those doors sometime. You might find some other goodies there as well. You never know when the snow is over in Utah so picking a better time than now means picking June.
Anytime there's a boilover, you want to check the system over real good. If you lost coolant and when refilling didn't open the vent on the heater core, that would explain you running hot and not having heat...you don't have enough coolant in the system. Just above the fire wall, near where the valve cover is, is a small "nipple" valve. I think an 11mm or 7/16 wrench does the trick. Loosen that valve, add coolant until it runs out of the valve, close valve. Air can get trapped in the 99 system fairly easily and when it does, the system doesn't work.
Good luck.
Dan
