Here is my problem. There are 2 hoses that run into my car from the engine. One produces heat, while the other does not. In the past I had to physically pump the cold hose(30min) to get the hose to produce heat. And if I switched from heating to air conditioning, the heat would stop working and I would have to do the process all over again. Now that process has stopped working.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

Suspect blockage in heater core or hose. Have tried flushing coolant? Could remove hoses and with garden hose flush core
