Heat doesnt work
There's probably been a thread about this but I didn't find it so go ahead and make fun of me and post a link or give some help.
I turn on the heat and it blows cold, not even the defroster is warm. I'm not Farmiliar with this stuff so where do I begin. I did recently replace the thermostat of that helps

Either hot coolant from the motor is not sufficiently flowing thru the heater core (under the dash) or the air/heat blend door (under the dash) is not opening/closing properly. Are both heater hoses hot? Gotta have lots of hot coolant for a good heater. If not, suspect a plugged heater core and/or weak water pump....if yes, suspect the blend door. Remote chance it could be both (plugged core/malfunctioning blend door).

It sounds like you need to flush and back flush you heater core. Make sure that you back flush it too. Also it can take several flushings to get it clean.
