The heat does not work. When I let the engine warm up it blows out cold air on the lowest setting you feel heat but when turned up it does not work. I added antifreeze and still does not work. I am at a loss.

It sounds like you have a blend door actuator that is out which will keep the heater from working. Check for vacuum leaks under the hood which go to a small vacuum line headed to the firewall. This is the line that runs the system.

Here is a guide that can help as well:

Below is the blend door actuator locations on your car.

Please let us know what happens.

Cheers, Ken

Step 1 - A heater cannot operate unless the engine is full of coolant/antifreeze. If coolant level is low check the system for leaks.
