Low coolant, failed thermostat, partially plugged heater core...............
Heater starts to turn cold when at stop light - what causes that?
The #1 cause of cold air from the heater when the car is stopped, or the engine is idling, low engine coolant levels.
Why would heater blow warm air while driving but cold air while idling and why would enigine temperature go up while idling and down when driving?
When a vehicle is idling, the engine may not produce enough heat to warm the coolant effectively, leading to cold air from the heater. In contrast, while driving, the engine works harder and generates more heat, allowing the heater to blow warm air. The engine temperature can rise while idling due to reduced airflow through the radiator and less coolant circulation, while driving increases airflow and coolant flow, helping to cool the engine.
Why does the heater on a 2008 impala police package run cold while idling?
There are two hoses that go to the heater core, when the coolant is flushed an air pocket forms preventing hot coolant from reaching heater core while at idle. Happened with all our police impalas. Tell the dealer to fix it.
Is the thermostat bad if the heater puts out hot air while in motion and cool air when idling?

When 1998 Mitsubishi montero is left idling there is no heat output but when in drive and moving heat flows. Is this normal for this vehicle?
No, I would suspect a stuck open thermostat, a failing (worn) water pump or clogged heater core. Also chedk for a sticking heater control valve in the coolant circuit if fitted. It could also be a internally swelled heater hose from the block to the heater core blocking proper coolant flow..
How do you install a heater coil on a 1993 Chevrolet Blazer 2-door 1500 model?
Drain coolant, remove anti freeze plug from block (corresponding size to the size of your heater coil plug) and install this plug carefully, using a large nut and a hammer. Refill coolant, let engine idling warm up, check coolant again and the installed heater plug for leaks. Now you can insall the cables, away from any moving or hot parts.
When my car goes on the highway the heater doesn't work very goodwhy is this?
If it blows warm while idling and cool as you accelerate down the road, the coolant is low and or doesn't have proper mixture for your avg. temperature.
