Not sure but you might try the heater core b/c the heater core just went out on my b/f's crx..it was blowing out air but it wasnt hot and thats what was wrong with his was the heater core.....

Just a thought

Do you have anitifreeze in your car, cause i had forgot to put some in mine, and a couple weeks ago i thought my heater was broke cause all it was doin was blowin out cold air, ounce i put antifreeze in it worked just fine.

yeah but if his heater core went wouldnt anti frezze be blowing through his vents.
happened on my 86 monte carlo ss.
granted it is a very different car.

Thats what i was thinkin to cause it did that in my friends 89 cavalier.

well the heater core could be blocked also. possibly the heater core valve could be bad, the cable could be broken also. hell the heater control itself could have went poof.
