Default nooo heat

I have no heat and when I do get it its for like 2min and I can smell antifreeze but not bad and the thing wont switch from defrost to vents or floors sometimes. If I go up a hill the vents will change to defrosting vents

If it's blowing through the defroster on the other setting it sounds like you have a vacuum leak. you need to start by checking the vacuum ball behind the front bumper passenger side. Then fallow the vac line all the way to the firewall. As for smelling antifreeze. That sounds like you have a leak in your heater core.

Heater core leak for sure if you can smell the antifreeze.

It's either the heater core leaking, or the blower motor resistor on it's way out. Do you see coolant dumping out of the condesate drain or on the passenger side floor?
