Related to this thread, my 2001 Honda CRV had its radiator replaced a year ago. All fine, and cooling system does what its supposed to do now, but the heater just started only blowing cool air. Any ideas on how to diagnose?

Yes, it sounds like an air bubble is stuck in the heater core, I would get the engine warm then park the car on a steep incline (front down) and turn the heater on full blast to help get the bubble out. Also try turning the car around the other way as well. I have seen people use a jack to simulate the slope also.

Check the coolant level after the engine has cooled after the procedure to see if the level has dropped. Please go over these guides and get back to us.
