Here's a couple of other things to check;
Make sure heater control valve is working - feel the heater hoses w/heater on. Both hoses should feel warm/hot. Test or replace your radiator cap - it may fit tight but they do lose their ability to hold adequate pressure. Make sure fan belt is tight and not glazed - loose or glazed belts will slip through waterpump pulley not spinning waterpump at correct rpms

Sounds like you have water in the oil which means you could have a blown head gasket. Can you tell what got in the oil. Is it antifreeze or gas. If gas you probably have a injector sticking open.

1990 toyota 4runner heater is blowing cold air

could be your heater core, um try checking the heater assembly in the dash, something may have broke so the heat isn't being switched over, and it is staying on cold. Regularly check the fluids in the motor and top up as needed

Engine heats up but takes a long time for warm air to blow. Once working, the thermostat works fine. Sometimes, warm air starts to blow and then goes cooler.

low fluid level or heater control valve may need replace..check hoses going to heater core...if cold...between heater control valve and heater core..replace control valve

1990 toyota 4runner over heating imetiatly new thermostat heater will not blow hot air doese not leak antifreze only steams

Since you have a new thermostat installed and no heat and overheatingyou have one of two or a combination of problems. You either have a bad water pump or a clogged radiator. The radiator can be flow checked at a radiator shop, if it flow checks fine replace the water pump. The pump may not have play in it indicating it is bad, but the shaft inside cold be broken so that the fan turns and the pulley turns on the outside but not internally where it counts.

2001 pt cruiser no heat

did you check the fluid level by removing the rad. cap? Radiator should be full to top. If Chryslers are low on coolant, the heater will not blow warm air.
