My 2004 buick lesabre blowing cold air not hot , but I notice when im on the freeway its trying get warm

This can occur if there is a blockage in the heater rad, or the blend door actuator that regulates air temperature into the cabin is malfunctioning, or the cooling system thermostat is malfunctioning. You can check by carefully feeling both heater hoses under the hood after the car has been run for a while - if one is hot and the other is cold, it's a blockage. If both are cold, check the thermostat. If both are relatively hot, it's usually the actuator.

What can cause the heater to malfunction

blower motor not working
bad and leaking heater coil
stuck thermostat open
stuck servos that control air flow
bad climate control sensors and switches

Take your choice. Give me more information..make model year of vehicle. Does the blower work? When does it malfunction? If the malfunction airflow related, heat related, etc.

The truck stalled out when driving. Sounds like it wants to start, but won't fire. Codes found - P0410, P0128, P0141, P0102. Please help. Daughter's truck and she leaves for college in a few days.

code p0410 refers to secondary injection system--malfunction===causes wiring--air valve--air solenoid--- ECM
code p0141 refers to heated oxygen sensor-2 bank1-heater control -circuit malfunction===causes --wiring--oxygen sensor--ECM
code p0128 refers to coolant thermostat --coolant temp below thermostat regulating temperature==causes mechanical fault (thermostat stuck open)
code p0102 refers to mass air flow (MAF) sensor/ volume air flow (VAF) sensor low input===causes wiring short to ground--MAF/VAF sensor ECM

2003 Cadillac CTS at 225,000 miles Code P0128 comes up periodically. Any solution other than a thermostat change at $400 plus?

First off who ever said $400 to change a thermostat is trying to rip you off. The actual part is like $20 bucks max and its so easy to change. I can guide you through it if you would like.

The P0128 code is Coolant Thermostat Malfunction.

These are the possible causes for this code:
- Insufficient warm up time.
- Low engine coolant level.
- Leaking or stuck open thermostat.
- Malfunctioning engine coolant temperature sensor.

These are the possible quick fixes:
- Top OFF Engine Coolant
- Replaced Thermostat

Heat selector malfunction

Where is the clicking noise coming from, the engine compartment or the dash panel? Probably not the heat selector switch, so I'm willing to bet the thermostat is sticking and not opening, which is lesding to you not having heat and the clicking noise you are hearing. Replace the thermostat.

Heater dont work good

I'm assuming you mean heat not hot enough. Possible causes are low coolant, malfunctioning thermostat, cooling fans staying on, or malfunctioning heat blend door. I hope this helps.

Will the fan clutch malfunctioning cause the car to act like the thermostat is not opening, we have already replaced the thermostat

Yes, if the fan clutch is bad, the car may overheat, especially when going uphill, check for a replacement or repair the esisting one filling it back with new silicona.
