The heater only blows cold air. I have replaced the thermostat but still no warm air. The temperature is running normal.
Do you

Hi,

First, take a look through this link and see if there is anything that is helpful.

If it doesn't, do me a favor and try this. Start the engine and allow it to idle while the heater is on high. Allow the engine to reach operating temp. Once it does, feel both heater core hoses under the hood where they attach at the firewall. Both should be hot. If only one gets hot, then there is a chance the heater core is plugged. Also, I believe this year has a heater control valve that allows coolant to flow through the heater core. It should be mounted on the inlet heater hose and a cable will be attached to it. Make sure it is operational.

Do this and let me know what you find.

Take care,
Joe
