95 Eclipse RS Heater Problem!

I just moved to the NE from Texas and my heater is behaving erratic. More often than not it's not blowing hot air after a reasonable warm-up period, although sometimes it'll be full on (sporadically).

I noticed yesterday that one of the two fans blowing on the engine behind the grill wasn't working-- the one in the center. Is that the source of my problem? Or why is it that I'm not getting hot air into my vents inside the car?

Thanks.

it sounds like your heater core is bad, how long has it been since you used your heat before you moved to NE

thats normal, it isnt that it is not working, the engine temp just isnt hot enough for it to turn on, they both are on sensors that as the engine temp gets hotter they turn on, and turn off as it cools... hope that helps

The odd part though is that it will get hot once the engine is warm (I mean nice and cookin') but then will drop back out again and blow cool air. Like something is shorting in and out. Which is why I thought it might be the fan cutting in and out. If the heater core was bad, would it be intermitent like that?
