the hoses going into and out of the heater core are hot. A new thermostat has been installed and my AC is fine. I have tried checking the vent doors and they seem to be fine. Could there be air in a hose or an actuator on a vent that may be causing the issue? Any suggestions would be appreciated

The temp gauge is normal. The vehicle runs fine it just has no heat. Thanks for the suggestions!

Hmmm.. everything I was going to mention that you check.. you've already checked... next thing.. is to buy a Chilton's book on your car and follow the troubleshooting guide for the heater... the book points out things that you may NEVER think of yourself.

There's a chance you hooked the two water hoses up backwards or could also be that the cable that controls the water flow into the heater core didn't get reconnected. Could also be that you installed the thermostat backwards with the spring facing up, rather than down.
Sounds dumb, but I did the same thing myself a few years back. Man, was I P.O.'d!
If you're lucky, it's the thermostat, it's the easiest to fix.

There is a valve that controls water flow- maybe it's off. The AC doesn't flow past the hot heater core....there could be a blockage, etc...that was a big job...bring it back to the person who did the work. You could also have an air pocket in the system that would require bleeding. Does the templ gauge get hot?

I would start by running the engine with the radiator cap off and see if you get a air pocket released. Thats the easy step if that does not work I would follow all the other suggestions till you find the problem.

specific and the automobile engine will overheat if youcontinual it attempt jacking up the front end orcontinual up on ramps and slowly fill the radiator on the cap engine off. eliminate one heater hose slightly on the hearth wall intently to not injury the hot copper pipe to burp out air. Then proceed to characteristic coolant till you could not positioned to any extent further in. positioned the cap returned on start up the automobile activate warmth each and each of how. It takes approximately 20 to half-hour to flow the antifreeze sufficient to clean the air out of the heater center so save coolant blend reachable to characteristic to the restoration bottle each and every time the automobile cools down some extra coolant would be sucked returned into the engine and heater center.

you have an actuator door thats not moving, especially if both hoses are hot. not sure if its an electrical actuator or manual but thats where i would look. if it is a manual door look for a misadjusted cable, the problem lies within the "blend air" door if everything else is working
