Low coolant, a bad heater control valve, a bad thermostat, or a clogged heater core could all cause the problem. Does the engine run at normal operating temperature? Is the coolant level correct?
If so , it is either the control valve or the heater core itself.

low coolant in the radiator can cause the same thing,not enough to circulate in the cooling system.if thats the case then you need to find out where the leak is.also do you smell anti freeze inside the car?or do you see any anti freeze on the ground when the car has been parked?if you smell antifreeze in the car its probably the heater core.

No , the heat in a car heater comes directly from the engine. Thats why it sometimes takes awhile to heat up.

Heater core or thermostat

Could be three things; heater core, thermostat or the belt is broken for your water pump.

First make sure (the simplest first) that there is water in the radiator, then check thermostat. They are notorious for sticking and are cheap and easy to fix/replace.

i am no expert, but i do know one thing from experience. if your engine started running hot all of the sudden, and you have cool air blowing...you may be very low, or even out of radiator fluid....
just a thought from someone who doesnt know anything about cars

No. Chances are the hot water valve is stuck, or the hot air door is stuck.
