What temperature is the engine running at?

 

When the engine is up to temperature are the heater hoses the same temperature or is one hotter than the other one?

Just wanted to make sure it was getting hot enough.

 

When moving the heater from cold to hot is there any change in the air temperature at all?

yes the car is all warm up, except when go to turn on heater it throws nothing but cold air :(

Accepted Answer

If getting hot enough then the problem is in the heater box. Either the control head is failing, the actuator for the air door or the door itself. The end result is the door is not moving inside the heater box to allow the hot air into the car.
