Things to check/eliminate: Possibly the thermostat is stuck in the open position and won't allow the engine to build hot water. You can possibly feel if there is flow thru the heater hose near the firewall. If you have recently replaced a broken hose this could be a possibility. Could be the heater control valve is inoperative. If no hot water is getting past the valve it will blow only cold air. Suspect this valve is either vacuum/electrically controled. Hopefully a vacume hose end rotted or theres a hole. Fairly easy to replace or if its long elongh cut the bad part off and reinstall Hope this input helps, Terry
