My heat wasnt blowing hot air just warm, so I started to read on the forum and a few guys had a similar problem, so I flushed my heater core and as soon as I did it, it started to blow hot air, so tried try that, thanks to the guys on this forum I was able to fix it so try it.

The problem is probably one or the other, but NOT both! A good technician would isolate this. I would consider using a different shop.

You would absolutely want to verify blend door operation FIRST.

If that works well, then the heater core should be flushed before replacing. Replacing is a major job which if you do not do yourself, will cost you a bunch of money.

I try flushing heater cores first with garden hose pressure, both through the inlet and the outlet. If that fails, I try the CLR method. You have nothing to lose if you are sure it is the heater core as replacement is the only other option. Here is a link.
