Hey albert,
Are you saying the blower is not working? Or the blower works and it doesn't blow heat. Please be more specific! Let us know

Im not sure, I turn on the heater and air comes out but the air is cold, i leave the car on for a while and it never warms up. so i dont know how do i find out if the blower isnt working?

Hey albert,
Some things to check, first though, if air is coming out of the vents than your blower is working.

1. your temperature control operates on engine vacuum, check the small plastic vacuum line that goes thru the firewall, these sometimes crack and break.

2. check the hoses to the heater core, if they are not both hot then is a heater core problem (clogged)

After sitting for that time period and given the age of the vehicle, a lot of time the radiator fluid is neglected. My thought is that the thermostat is sticking and I sincerely recommend a flush of the system and replacing the thermostat.
