Heater takes longtime to warm up, then intermittently goes between hot and cold. Never stays hot. The blower works great, but blows cold air.

The coolant level is fine.

Thanks

The primary check would be to determine if the thermostat is letting the engine get to full operating temperature. The upper hose should get hot, only allowing your hand to be placed on it a minute or two. If it is comfortably warm, it is not getting hot enough.

Step 1 - A heater cannot operate unless the engine is full of coolant/antifreeze. If coolant level is low check the system for leaks.
