Hi,
once the car warms up I turn the heat on and its warm for about a minute or two and then it gets cold. If I turn it off for about 10 min and then back on it will be hot again for a minute or two. Do you know what the problem might be?

I would really be leaning towards a issue with a plugged up heater core. To test feel the hoses when the air is warm. And then when its cold feel them. Do you note a temperature change/

hoses I am refering to are the heater core hoses. They are about inch diameter and they run through the firewal to the heater core.
