I replaced my thermostat today but I still do not get heat while car is idling. Go down the road blows hot air then cold and back to hot. What is going on?

Sounds like the heater core is restricted.

Feel the hoses at the firewall going to the heater core. Both should be hot. If not try backflushing it..
