You should check your water level. It's low, and you have a leak. Get someone to check it for you.
The heater in your car works off the water from your radiator, no water in the radiator will over heat the engine ergo top up the water.
Could also be low antifreeze level causing water in radiator to freeze making the engine overheat and the heater to blow cold air.
You have an airlock. If you have a system with expansion/filler tank then check the return pipe is not blocked. These systems bleed themselves if there are no blockages.Mine was because the impeller in the water pump had disintegrated to the point where it would not move the water. The water would overheat, but the hot water would not get moved into the heater core to blow hot air. I replaced the water pump and it all works now.
ihave a 1986 chevette that when i turn defrost on it blows out heat and when i put heater on it blows out only cold air? ihave a 1986 chevette that when i turn defrost on it blows out heat and when i put heater on it blows out only cold air?
can you please clarify what you mean, do you mean that the front heater blows cold but the rear blows hot or do you mean that when the heating is on cold it blows hot? many thanks paul

Get the air out of your heater core.
heater hoses might have been disconected
The most common reason a automobile heater blows cold air is the water level is low. Check the water level and fill to the appropriate level.
the heater blows warm air when fan is on low but blows cold air when fan is turn to higher setting
you must have low coolant or a bad heater core
we changed radaitor & thermastate , now heater blows cold air
Only blows cold air with the a/c on while driving, your cooling fan or fan clutch is bad depending on the year, make and model.......... Only blows cold air with the heater on while driving, you will have a bad or broken internal a/c - heater control door.....
It is because your heater is having to heat up so its blowing cold air out while its heating up.This means your heater is not very efficient and it needs to be checked.
A car heater taps off engine heat. If you aren't driving, then the engine is cold and there's no heat for the car heater to use.
