This is a classic tell-tale sign that the heater has a "blown" core. A new heater core is the only option, I think, and that runs to money because of the labor involved. If you live in a very warm climate, you can get by with simply bridging the "In" and "Out" heater hoses wit a connector made for the purpose. But if you need the heater at all in winter weather, the core must be replaced.
