Heater gives warm air then cool air
That's usually a dirty,clogged heater radiator. How's your antifreeze look? If it's dirty,flush the system out.
But to get your heater working........look down on the firewall and you'll see a coupla' heater hoses entering thru that go to your heater radiator. The trick is to flush backwards from the usual flow direstion that trapped the debris in there.
The flow goes from the hose near the thermostat area into the heater radiator and comes out the other hose and returns to the water pump.
Take these hoses loose from the thermostat area and from the water pump,when the car's engine has cooled.
Now take a regular garden hose with a pistol grip nozzle(just the old cheap type) and hold it tightly to the water pump heater hose and force water back thru the heater radiator.VERY IMPORTANT! DON"T get any water in the alternator and don't let any get into the dipstick of the oil or transmission while you flush!!!
Make sure the hose is directed downward where the debris will come out. (you can tie a large white sock onto the end of the hose and you'll see the debris that you flushed out when you turn it inside out)
Now you have an option to funnel some radiator flush down into the heater radiator and let it sit for an hour,and then reflush the heater the same way and then reconnect the hoses.Enjoy! don-ohio (:^)
