Hello there..Its two things..If your saying that the heater hoses are hot into the car,,either the blend dorr they call it thats what changes from cold to hot,the flap as you say,or the heater controller that controls it is bad..The dial on the dash that says cold to hot..Shut car down and listen for the flap to open and clse when you change it to hot to cold..If you hear it moving doesnt neccisarily mean that its working it could be broke from the flap and just spinning around or the flap its self is broke,or the heater controls are bad,,Hope this helps you and have a great day

Air is blowing cold when heater is on

Most likely the water is not flowing through the heater core. When the engine is warm, grab the heater hoses and see if they are equally hot. If one side is cold, then the water flow valve is not opening.

If both hoses are hot, the problem is under your dash with the air flaps. Something is not opening to route the air around the heater core.

The heater does not blow warm air

you might have air in the heater core if you let your antifreeze get too low. it might be too low now. maybe the temperature selector cable is broke and flap is closed to let heat come through. could be thermostat is stuck open and engine can't build heat. heater core might be plugged.

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.

Iv changed everything that i can for my heater and i only blows cold air. Is there a device that opens and close for the heater and AC?

Its probably your vacuum lines for the heater doors under the dash. These lines open a close doors to allow air to blow through the heater core.

'89 Maxima car heater stops blowing warm/hot air

You will have an 'in' and an 'out' hose going to the heater core. Run engine until hot, these two pipe should be both quite hot, if the out pipe feels cooler than the in pipe then it would seem the core is blocked. You say you have no leaks so maybe it would be worth removing both heater pipes, fix one side up to the water main and gently pass water through it. Hopefully lots of Brown sludge should come out.
If both pipes feel hot then the core should be ok. This means it will be an air-distribution fault and maybe the flap is stuck that changes it from hot to cold air.
