I have a 1996 Honda Accord and the other day I had put in on heat then later when I went to switch it back it's not blowing out cold air, its blowing like luke warm air. It's not hot and it's not cold. Can...

Could be low on freon, have a pro check it out unless you have the proper gauges. Or could be the low pressure switch is not working. System must be tested for leaks first then pressure checked. DO NOT just add more freon from a can you could damage the compressor or parts of the a.c.

Air pockets in radiator

Air can be purged. While your engine is cool remove radiator and reservoir caps. Place funnel in radiator. Turn heat to the highest position and start vehicle. Add coolant to radiator as needed while vehicle warms up. You should see bubbles coming out of radiator. Fill reservoir to between cold and hot fill lines. Replace caps when bubbling stops but before coolant temperature reaches normal operating temperature. Never remove the radiator cap until engine has fully cooled down.

My cooling fan wont turn off when my car warm up fully

Your cooling fans may never turn off until the engine temp cools down enough. Also if your A/C switch (if equiped) is on the fan should stay on. The defrost position also turns the A/C on as well (helps to defrost windows faster) so that would turn the fan on.

1999 ford taurus se 155thousand miles, 3.0 V6

sounds like your thermostat is stuck open, if its takes a very long time for the engine to warm up and you get nothing but cold air from your heat then thats the first place i would start.

Temp gauge reads hot when cold

That wire you are unplugging is pinched and being shorted to ground ! You need to trace that wire until you find it . Also if anyone has done any repairs recently you may want to start looking in that area .
