Heat... I want some heat!

If temp gauge registers at normal or near normal, the you have either a heater core/heater valve problem, or a blend door problem.

The easiest way to check if the heater core is getting heat is to check both hose fittings coming from the firewall. If both are hot/warm, then your heater core is allowing coolant to pass and heat the core.

If the hoses are both hot, then you likely have a blend door, or blend door cable issue. Is your "TEMP" slide difficult to slide? Often the cable that loops under the dash to the blend door binds do to its routing. When this happens the blend door is usually stuck closed... or partially closed only allowing a minimal amount of heat. The blend door lever that the cable operates is under the left side of the console/dash.
