take a pic of how your hoses are routed. Feel along the hose coming from the intake manifold and see if there is a cold spot.

vent is stuck open. Check your cables that operate the heater plenum...the A/C, heater, vent, defrost controls.

Mikewb did you read my reply?
How are your hoses routed? Are they hot anywhere along the way?

is there a valve installed on one of your heater hoses and maybe the valve is shut therefore no coolant if flowing through which would lead to you not having any heat?
