My 2000 Monte Carlo is blowing cold air out when heater is on.will warm slightly when car is moving but goes back to cold @ an idle...?

The temp. gauge is @ the half way mark, so normally it would be toasty in cab in no time.but pumps out only cold air until car is moving, then air is only a little bit warm NOT hot.as soon as we stop or put in park and idle, cold air starts again.within last 7-8 months had all fans for cooling system replaced, radiator was replaced due to crack, and engine has kept coolant at normal levels.but my "low coolant" light has been on whole 7-8months so cant tell by that...

SOURCE: engine overheats when heater pipes connected

I think you could be right about there being air trapped in the system.
Or the heater core(radiator) is plugged.
Either way you need a pressurized radiator coolant pump to put the coolant in without air being trapped.
Although,i have seen it done by jacking the vehicle up high enough that the radiator was now higher than the heater core level, and then the coolant was put in.
But this is dangerous to try.

SOURCE: heater blowing cold air

My 2005 Nissan Sentra 1.8s with 55,000 mi. blows cold air from the heater. Coolant not circulating in engine. Lower hose stays cool to touch. Both heater hoses cold. Changed thermostat - didn't fix it. Coolant not leaking or dirty. None in oil - no oil in radiator. Changed worn water pump belt - pump spins freely with no noise or resistance. Cooling fans come on after warm-up. Temperature gauge stays in normal range then jumps to hot and back again. Coolant good to 10 below - didn't freeze here yet. No other problems or repairs to car. Afraid to drive and make worse. Help!

sounds more like the thermostat may be failing. generally a water pump starts leaking out of the "weep" hole in the casting before it quits. just look at the front of the water pump for a greenish streak or an obvious leak.
if you also suspect you heater core may be getting plugged now would be a good time to back flush it to get rid of some of the gunk.

Why does my 2000 Monte Carlo blow cold air then goes into overheating mode. then it will blow warm when it wants to and temp gauge is normal.

you are either:
1. low on antifreeze
2. have air trapped in the system (raise rear end while adding coolant!)
3. your thermostat and/or temp sending unit needs replacement

check the actuator motor and make sure it is moving the doors between the heater and the ac. it is in the center of the heater inside the car and is a small motor attached to the heater housing.

2000 Yukon denali, recharged air conditioning systemt, blows cold air in the rear, warm air up front?

Hi, Sounds like your actuater for your heater box damper is bad. Its munted under the dash over the center hump. you will have to remove the cover that goes the length of the heater box to find it. The actuater motor should move back and forth with the temp knob going from cold to hot.
