QUESTION: thanks i will try that,any suggestions on how to clean if needed????

Answer
most of the time a coolant flush might fix it. If u want to do it yourself take off both hoses and run water through the heater core and see if it will push any stuff out   if not  no choice but to replace it if u want heat. I will be fixing a heater core in a few days where I am at.
