Could be a number of reasons for this condition. I would check the coolant level. A low coolant level could cause your heater to blow cold air when the engine is warm. Is the engine warm? If the engine is fluctuating temp it could be a faulty thermostat. Hope this helps.
Poor circulation probably due to a restricted (plugged up) heater core.
That's a toughy... Water pump maybe(?)If not, be sure to see "Related Questions" below for more diagnosing/trouble-shooting/fixing ideas and information.
Low coolant, failed thermostat, partially plugged heater core...............
"safe to drive" - sure, this isn't going to cause the engine to blow up or break-down.Run poorly, sure, but not fatal to the mechanicals
Yuo have a bad aux water pump about $150 at the dealer :) Danny K
The heating system doesn't get heat until the car warms up and the thermostat opens.

Possibly defective thermostat. It sounds like it is opening up a bit with increased pressure caused by higher engine revs - when idling, the pressure decreases and the thermostat valve closes. Just a thought, anyway.
You just need to go and have your A/C system recharged and that should take care of the problem.
check your pvc. If that is not working your engine will blow the oil out somewhere.
The blower on the back heater may need to be replaced on the 2000 Ford Winstar.
most likely it's a bad thermostat, or your vents not working properly.
