Wide open hung thermostat can cause this too...continual circulation never allows the water to get hot enough to warm the heater core

    you might have a wide open thermostat which will cause the water to not heat up enough to send hot water to the heater core.

You need to check your coolant level first. If it is low you have a coolant leak. No hot coolant=No heat

SOURCE: 1998 Chevy S10 pickup air condition compres is on instead of heat

First be sure that you do not have the controls set to defrost the windows since on just about all vehicles nowadays with the controls set that way the air conditioner will be turned on...even if it is not so warm outside. So...be sure that you do not have any of the controls set to defrost and that the heater is turned all the way on.

It sounds like though that the control for the vents is not operating properly. This is a combination of mechanical movements of the vent flaps and small "air motors" that operate the flaps. These air units are controlled by air vacuum taken from the engine compartment through tiny hoses. If the hoses get cracks, holes or come loose from their fittings then your vents will not move correctly so it is a matter of looking and tracing each one of the hoses to make sure they are fastened correctly, have not come loose and are not cracked or leaking. The problem can even be in the engine compartment where the hose(s) connect to the engine vacuum system...so it will take lots of looking carefully with flashlights etc....good luck.

98 chevy cavalier heat is blowing out cold air and temp stay at cold to .what could be wrong

Very well be the thermstat is froze. If car temp is always cold then it sends cold water to the heater core. You may want to look at the heater core (passenger side against firewall) to see if the heater door is opening. - Good luck

1997 audi A4 heater blowing cold air

You will have to change the heater core. 9 out of 10 times, when the heater is not heating the air, it is a bad heater core.
