start by checking your coolant level. If that's fine, then it may be your heater control valve.

Start by checking your search button.

This is so common any search would have yielded results that would help.

Have you topped off your coolant? (even though I know you'd have seen this suggestion in other threads )

Well, let me tell you something ya don't know know yet.........

As long as your car is not overheating (stuck thermostat), then you are not full on coolant or you have not properly opened the heater core control valve.

There is NOTHING else to stop the flow of coolant. Heaters are REEAAALL simple.
