Usually it's a leaky thermostat allowing to much coolant to pass through it when it's closed.To check this, clamp off top rad hose completely(acting like a closed thermostat) If you have hot air from the heater now ,you do need a replacement thermostat.

SOURCE: 96 audi a4 heater blows cold air

you have air in the system!! you have to unbolt the filler tank and lift it 5 inch higer first. then loose the right hose on the heater core( this hose have and hole to bleed the system) and then put antifreeze until the antifreeze will go out of the hole then re install the hose to the heater core, then ajust the level correcty
have fun

SOURCE: we have an audi a4 2.6cc , the heater only blows

sounds like the thermostat is not functioning correctly? either that or not in at all? thus making the water which would normally warm up quickly, warm up extremely slowly and on really cold days not at all? with a 2.6 engine your car shoudl warm up in record time?

SOURCE: Car revs up to 3000 rpm when I start it. I have unplugged the idle control valve and it makes no difference

It is an electrical relay problem, that is part of the EFI system, I had an Audi of about the same age with the same problem many years ago. The relay was under the dash to the left of the steering wheel. Sorry, can't be more precise, but the dealer at that time had the relay in stock and one mechanic at the dealer gave me enough info to find the relay and replace it, and that solved the problem

Sounds like the valve to the heater matrix is jammed shut, the actuator has burnt out or a blocked heater matrix. Trace the smaller diameter pipe from the thermostat housing and see if you can manually operate the valve.

Ford explorer 4.0 1991 high revs

not told hot or cold engine
the controls for idle are not the same , those 2 modes.
how high is high RPM,.
hot is 800 RPM regulated by PCM + isc idle valve.
cold is controlled by IAC,thermal air control valve.
and runs about 1200 to 2000 rpm,cold
cold in Florida is 1200 cold in ALASKA is 2000.
if the thermostat is bad, stuck open, and 150f coolant temp the RPM will be stuck high all the time
as will huge vacuum air leaks, the MAP sensor sees that and engine screams.
pully connectors is useless as doing so puts he PCM in limp home mode and idle controls are disabled in that mode. limp
there are lots more tests, to do. but my fingers are tired.
get shop to fix it?

The heating coil is probably getting plugged up. You may have heat at idle or slow speeds, but once you get going, there is not enough coolant going through it to stay warm. Get the system flushed or replace the heating coil.

It may be that you have a vacuum leak. In some models of GM cars the AC controls are controlled by vacuum. At idle the vacuum may not have enough suction to hold a control in the desired position. When the situation happens, place the transmission in neutral and increase the RPM. If the AC blows cold then the vacuum may be the problem.

2005 nissan altima heater blows cold air when stopped and blows hot air when going down the highway. What could be the problem?

Check your coolant level. If it is low, what you describe will happen. Water pump works faster as rpm's increase, managing to get hot coolant to heater core (highway speeds). At idle, pump is not working fast enough to get the coolant to the heater core.

1995 ford windstar overheat after replacing the thermostat

Let your engine warm up with the rad. cap off and see if the coolant level drops. and make sure your overflow is full. It blows cold air because there is no water getting to the heater core. And it shows a normal(ish) temp because the water needs to be touching the temp. sensor. I really do think there is air in the system and there is not enough coolant but hard to tell from here. Also as with overheating any time make sure to check your oil and look for any coolant as the head gasket seldomly holds together if the motor overheats.
