Locate the 2 smaal heater hoses under the hood and let engine warm up. Feel both hoses while running to feel if they are both about the same temp.If not removethe hoses and clear restriction.I have found that in very cold weather that 50/50 coolant mixture very important.you can test with a coolant tester to see if antifreeze concentration is too much

Get your radiator and heater core flushed out, if this doesn't fix the issue then your contol damper is probably not functioning like it should. The heater core and radaitor should be able to get flushed at the same time and this is a good thing to do on occasion anyway. Have you check your engine thermostat? this could be the culprit if it is not closing and allowing the engine to heat up.

1999 chevy silverado heater fan only blows cold air , both coolant lines in are hot

I like that you were knowledgeable to check both coolant lines tells me you are getting hot coolant through the heater core next thing to check will be the blend door on the inside of your vehicle. The blend door is a door that switches from cold air duct to heater duct depending on what you are using at the time. If it is stuck on the cold air duct you will not get any heat sometimes these doors are vacuum actuated and sometimes they are electrically actuated most the time you are able to see the movement of the motor from inside if you don't see any movement but you hear it move chances are it is the door blend I hope this helps.

Engine heats up but takes a long time for warm air to blow. Once working, the thermostat works fine. Sometimes, warm air starts to blow and then goes cooler.

low fluid level or heater control valve may need replace..check hoses going to heater core...if cold...between heater control valve and heater core..replace control valve

2004 sienna heating system problem. With the from heat control set to hot it sometimes blows hot and the cold air back and forth on its own with the heat set to hot?

try turning the blower down, if you have the fan on full you will feel cooler air from time to time. as the thermostat only measures the ambient tempreture inside the car when this level is met then it will turn off the heat so it will only blow the air from the car which will feel cooler.
if the car is still cold suspect the tempreture control in the car maybe faulty or the water level in the system maybe low.

1998 S10 heat wont work sometimes

When you say the heat doesn't work are you meaning the fan doesn't blow out hot air or just doesn't blow out any air? if it blows cold air sometimes when you have the heat on then it could be poor circulation through your radiator or a weak water pump. make sure your radiator is clean on the inside, not too corroded or nasty inside. You can buy a radiator flush thing from wal-mart or any auto parts store. See if it helps.

AIR DOSENOT BLOW ON AC ALL THE TIME , SOMETIMES IT DOSENT BLOWING AIR UNTIL I HAVE BEEN ON THE ROAD FOR SEVERAL MINUTES BUT NEVER REACHES ITS FULL STRENTH OF AIR FLOW

Do You mean air doesnt blow cold or fan doesnt blow strong.If you mean it doesnt blow cold that means you need to have a/c recharged.The reason it gets cold after being on the road for a while is because compressor takes time to cool freon when it is very low
