sounds like a stuck thermostat. but check if the system has a bleeder screw if it does burp it and that will help also.

SOURCE: blowing cold air via the heater

Assuming that none of the Electrical/Electronic controls were disturbed when changing the Thermostat it seems to me that you have an "Air Lock" within the heater. One must purge all the air out of the cooling system as close to the highest point as possible after the system has been partially or fully drained. Most of the time one will find small BRASS Bleeder Valves located somewhere near the highest point. Open each one while the system is pressurized and let Air escape until some Coolant escapes. Sometimes it may be necessary to loosen a Heater Hose and bleed the air at that point. Remember that the system MUST BE PRESSURIZED to accomplish the Bleeding of Air. Many auto parts stores sell hand pumps with a pressure gauge for this purpose and leak testing. These pumps typically replace the Radiator Pressure Cap temporarily. The system does not have to be at normal operating temperature to bleed the air out. Once the Air has been bled you will have to refill the radiator to normal full and make sure that the Coolant Recovery Tank level is also brought up to recommended level. A quick check is to remove the Radiator Pressure Cap, Start the Engine, Rev the engine suddenly (A short Jab) and see if the coolant level falls rapidly in the radiator. If it does it is definitely an AIR LOCK situation.

Why is there no heat?

there could be a air lock in the cooling system and the heater core is full of air
bleed the air out or have an accredited radiator shop do it
make sure that the heater control valve is getting the signal ( cable, vacuum etc ) from the heater control switch ( climate control module) to turn the coolant system on to the heater core

Why is my heater blowing cold

Most likely it is the heater control valve that shifts air from blowing across your heater core to your air conditioner core.

If your fan works and your car is fairly new..meaning your heater core isn't dirty and full of craap...then it is the climate cotrol valve.
If you are lucky, it might be a thermostat that is bad and blocking hot water from entering your heater core. Bottom line, if hot water doesn't circulate thru that little heater core, you won't get heat.
You might be able to look under the hood and grab the hot water lines that go thru the firewall and feed your heater core. If they feel cold to the touch after engine has warmed up, then you aren't getting circulating water to the heater core. If they feel nice and warm, then the heater core is fine, but your climate control valve has closed off the fan that blows across the core to disperse heat into the cabin

The heat does does not work in my 98 Tahoe at all its blows cold all the time I have done changed the there and put new coolent in it still have no heat so I by pasted the heat valve and ran it right in...

If you are getting hot water/coolant to the heater core and still no hot air coming out the vents, then it's a issue with the climate control or blend door. After running your engine and it reaching normal operating temp, locate your heater hoses that goes to the heater core. Carefully touch them to make sure both hoses are hot to the touch, if they are, you are getting hot water/coolant to and from the heater core. So, then it will have to be a issue with the climate control in the dash or either the blend door in the air box. It's a common problem for the climate control to go out on these models, hope this helps.

check to see if both hoses are hot going to your heater core if they are then core is fine.That would point to your temperature sensor.

1997 Bonneville SSE, when the heater is turned on, only cold air

you may have a failed blend air door motor/actuator. this part will regulate the amount of air from the heater core depending on the temp setting on your electronic climate control unit. if it has failed, it will be stuck at the temp that it was last set at when it quit working. it is also possible the heater core may be plugged up, but using the gm recommended dexcool coolant and flushing it out every 5 years, it should not be plugged up. you can pull the 2 heater hoses off the heater core on the passenger side of the engine compartment firewall and see if the heater core is the problem. caution-do not use a high pressure air hose to blow through the heater core as this could damage it and cause a leak!

2001 Acura TL Climate Control Blowing only Cold Air.

Ok it may be that the heater core bypass valve isnt opening. All that valve dose is when you turn the climate control to heat it opens a valve that allows hot coolant from the engine to flow through the heater core. What I would do is check that. It will be on the left side (passange) of your engine bay.You will see two black coolant hoses next to eachother and one will have a black box with a wire that runs to it. Have someone move the climate control from hot to cold to hot back to cold. If you dont see the wire move then you can move it yourself to open the valve.

Let me know if the valve opens or not using the climate control.
