Welcome to AF.
You should have the 3.1L V6 engine and not the 3.8. To start check your coolant level and the rating of the thermostat. Also, the heater core may be blocked or need a flush. Check the heater core inlet and outlet hoses at the firewall to see if they get hot to the touch after the engine reaches operating temperature.
