For one reason or another your heater core is not recieving any circulation. It could be a frozen heater switch valve or ( diverter valve ). That is located in line under the hood on one of the heater hoses running into the firewall. Check it for operation. If that is okay check for plug in heater hose or a pinched condition of supply lines. If the blower blows but you dont feel any air movement then the
air control gates under the dash arent working. They are vacuum controlled and hoses get old and crack and break or pulled so check all the vacuum elements on the climate control center under the dash. If you feel air but not from the vents then a length of duct work came disconnected or it cracked somewhere.

Why would my heater blow out cool air when sitting still and then hot air when going down the road and then it's not all that hot

Try flushing or blowing high pressure air through the heater core lines. its sludge build up and need to be flushed through heater core only. check antifreeze fluid level. only put in straight antifreeze, do not mix. most people do not know what mixture should be, so be safe and add straight, it will not hurt it, i run 100% straight antifreeze and never had a problem or worry about it ever freezing and cracking my block, heads or radiator cracking.

Defroster fan blows but no hot air comes out

If the heat blows hot, the defrost should also. If the heat does not blow hot air, it could be your thermostat, your heater core valve, or the heater core itself. with the vehicle being a 2002, the heater core is the least likely.

Heat doesn't always blow hot
