Default No heat when the car is NOT moving???

ok so the heat in the SC work just fine when the car is moving, but if it's sitting still and running for longer then 1-2 minute she starts to blow cool air

whay could that be about?

I was going to do a radiator flush and fill then see she how she acts after that
(she need that anyway)

Reason this happens is; When you are moving the RPM's build up pressure, which in turn fills your heater core with hot coolant. The minute the pressure drops the core (being least important in your cooling system) losses the warm goodness. This is also bad for the water pump. So definitely keep that full. I would do a full flush anyway. Check all the hoses and clamps.
