CHECK THE HEATER CORE. MORE THAN LIKELY IT IS PLUGGED OR THE HEATER CONTROL VALVE IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE HEATER CONTROL VALVE CONTROLS THE WATER TO THE HEATER CORE. THUS NO FLOW, NO HEAT. GOOD LUCK.

My 2002 buick lasabre heater blows cold.

Assuming the cooling system is full and there are no air pockets, are both heater hoses getting hot when the engine warms up ?
If so, it could be a blend door problem under the dash.

Heater doesn't get hot on 96 chevy truck. Blows good, just cold. Replaced thermostat, flushed radiator. Any ideas?

Air Temperature Control Blend Door Failure No Heat or no AC (dependes on where door sticks)

In all modern cars there is a tiny DC electric motor driven gear drive that moves a plastic door that blends heated and cooled air from the AC and the heater core, this is called (interestedly enough) the air temperature control blend door actuator. The motor that moves this door fails because the door starts sticking from warping, most common complaint is no heat but it can be no AC as well. To replace these parts (blend door and blend door actuator) you must remove the entire dash from the car. Always have this problem confirmed by a dealer or qualified repair shop as it is a very expensive repair.

Other causes of no heat in the cabin are engine thermostats that are stuck open (engine runs cold) or air bubbles in the cooling system.

My heat is not working in my mercury mystique 98 but it blows out cold air

If the coolant temp gauge is in it;s usual position when driving(at least 1/3 way up) then flush the heater core with a garden hose.Clamp off the heater hoses,remove them from the heater core and flush back and forth a few times until flow is good,reattach heater hoses and you should have heat as long as the heat/cold airflow door is in the heat position in the heater assembly under the dash.

2002 Buick LeSabre Custom. Cooling System had brown chiffon looking foam in radiator. Drained and flushed cooling system with water. Disconnected both heater hoses and forced water through in both...

The brown looking chiffon could be oil in the water. However, if you are sure the system is ok then I would check the actuator door motor on the heater and make sure it is allowing the heat into the car. Seems as if you have done as much as you can.

Cold and no heat

This is a common complaint for the 4.3 v-6 by GM, what happens over time is air gets into the cooling system, usually a small coolant leak at the intake manifold gasket. Ait gets in the cooling system and starts electrolisis. From this the coolant starts to solidify. If I'm correct your heater core is plugged. Remove the radiator cap (engine cold only) and inspect the coolant. The proper color should be red. If the elctolisis is taking place the coolant will turn to rust and look like mudd. If you find mudd in the radiator, most likely the heater core is plugged. This is a very expensive repair. You'll need to remove the raditor & sent it out to be boiled out. Replace the heater core, thermostat and the coolant hoses. You'll also need to perform a "prestone" flush. You may need to flush the cooling system monthly until the system is clean.
