Depending on the year there should be a vacuum operated valve on the passenger side that controls flow into the heater core. There are 3 or 4 heater hoses coming out of it. The valve should also have a small vacuum line from the top going into the fire wall. If not, locate it and reattach.

I am having a problem with mine as well. Not sure yet if it is a vacuum problem or what, but as of yesterday I was finally able to get heat and with it being in the mid 30s in the morning that was a good thing. Now I just wont touch it again until it warms up.
