Try checking the heater control valve. Follow the heater hose from the engine, and as you get closer to the firewall, you should run into it. It is in line with the hose, and should have a vacuum hose connected to it. Apply vacuum to the valve and it should move. If not, then replace the valve. If there is no vacuum when engine running and heater turned on, then check the hose for leaks or the vacuum source.

My 96' Mystiques heater will not produce warm air, but the car does not over heat. Thought this might be a heater core issue but now I am second guessing that. What else could it be?

If the heater hoses are getting hot, and the radiator is full of coolant, you could have a problem with one of the blend doors under the dash. The blend doors direct air flow thru the heater core and the vents.

Just bought 1993 Toyota 4runner 3.0 turbo diesel, heaters not producing any heat regardless of engine temperature, fans work fine and has plenty of water in the system

ok I think this could be one of 2 things when you turn your heat on do you hear a clicking noise behind the dash if you do it could possibly be the actuator that opens and closes when you turn the temp knob from hot to cold! Also the other thing that it may possibly be could be that the heater core has gone bad and is not producing any heat to inside the vehicle but I would check the actuator switch first if you have the clicking in your dash

Heater not working blows but no heat

Oh no! What do you do when your car heater not working? How do you figure out why there's no heat in car? What if you have no heater in car? Before you start trying to figure out how to fix car heater yourself, you should know a little about how your car's heating system operates. That will help you to figure out your car heater problem and why your heater isn't working properly or even at all! So, let's talk about how your heating system functions and then about some of the more obvious reasons that it you may be getting no heat from car heater. In order to heat up the inside of your car, the heating system uses some of the excess heat produced from your engine. Actually the engine produces so much heat that if you didn't have a way to release it (the heating/cooling system in your car) it could harm and even destroy the engine! That is why the heating/cooling system is set up to remove some of the heat and keep your car running smoothly.

No in car heating,blowers working fine but it wont produce heat. Its a 51 plate grand cherokee Thanks

If it won't produce heat then you have an issue with your heater core. The heater core could be bypassed, in which case no hot coolant will get to it to produce heat inside the cabin. The heater core could be stopped up with dirt/debris, in which case the heater core can't radiate heat to produce heat in the cabin. The ducting in the dash could not be allowing the hot air to flow to the vents - therefore no heat in the cabin. I'd start with the heater core and check to see if it is bypassed. This generally happens on older vehicles because the parts can be harder to find.

there is a valve in the hot line to the heater core, it may not be opening. or you might have to disconnect the heater hoses and flush the heater core, stop leak will some times stop up core since tubes are very small

2006 ford f-250 diesel with no heat

it takes quite a while for a diesel to warm up by just idling in order to produce any heat.you have to put them under a load (drive it), before you will get any noticeable heat.if you have a block heater, plug it in 4-5 hours before you plan on driving it and that will definitely help produce interior heat quicker.
