Let the engine warm up to operating temperature. turn on the heat full blast. feel the two hoses going to the firewall to the heater core; if they are both hot, then your problem is in the heater box or heater controls. if one hose is significantly cooler than the other, then you have a clogged heater core and you can replace it or try and backflush it.

SOURCE: heater blowing cold air

squeeze the hoses to get any air bubbles out and refill coolant as necesary. are you sure you put thermostat in the right way? may be backwards. also may be your sensor.

SOURCE: Heater doesnt work blows cold air, replaced

This is what I did to solve the exact same problem.I got a pump that you can hook to a drill that has garden hose connections on it.I made 2 hoses to pump into my heater core and hook to the pump. I bought some radiator cleaner at Auto Zone and put it in a 5 gallon pail with about 2 gallons of hot water.I pumped the cleaner from the pail into the OUTLET side of the heater core.(By going in the outlet side you are back flushing the core.) I put an old cloth over the top of the bucket and let the outcoming cleaner run onto this cloth acting as a filter for the dirt coming out of the heater core and let the pump run about 10 minutes. Believe me,A LOT!!!!!!!!!!! of dirt,rust etc. came out of my heater core. The heat now works excellent! Good luck.

Start the car up when it is cold and rev the engine up for 30 seconds,loosen up the radiator cap and see if there is pressure there..If there is you probably have a bad head gasket...Caution do not open cap if engine is warm...

2003 nissan sentra is blowing cold air i changed thermostat stillblowing cold air i did notice that heater core hoses are both cold car is not overheating

remove both hoses from engine that passes through firewall to heater. put a stiff piece of wire in the hole and make sure it is clear. If there is no restriction, then the heater is choked up

2003 nissan sentra gxe heater core

The problem is likely in your heater case doors, not the core itself. These doors are either vacuum operated or small motor operated.

Get the car warmed up, then feel both heater hoses. Both should be hot, meaning coolant is circulating. If only one is hot, the other cold, then you have a circulation problem.

I have a 2002 Nissan Sentra the thermostat opens, changed water pump. the heater still blows cold air .

you may have a problem with heater box. your air/mix door may have an issue. feel the knobs on the control unit. if the cold/heat know feels kinda funny from the other knobs, then thare is a problem with heater box/cables??

I have an 1996 Nissan Sentra GXE i live in ND and the heater only blows luke warm air while at full operating temperature. I replaced the thermostat and flushed the heater core which seemed clean....

Sounds like it's the air control flap which determines the mix of heated and fresh air. This could be vacuum controlled or manually with a cable.

Heater blowing cold air

My 2005 Nissan Sentra 1.8s with 55,000 mi. blows cold air from the heater. Coolant not circulating in engine. Lower hose stays cool to touch. Both heater hoses cold. Changed thermostat - didn't fix it. Coolant not leaking or dirty. None in oil - no oil in radiator. Changed worn water pump belt - pump spins freely with no noise or resistance. Cooling fans come on after warm-up. Temperature gauge stays in normal range then jumps to hot and back again. Coolant good to 10 below - didn't freeze here yet. No other problems or repairs to car. Afraid to drive and make worse. Help!

Heater works good then all at once starts blowing cold air

You will have to replace the thermostat...It sounds like the thermostat is not opening and closing all the way. When the car is running fast enough to heat up the water, great...heat...but at stops the thermostat is not closing all the way allowing the water to cool as it passes through the heater.
