Question -
Trying to diagnose where the problem lies.  The therostat is opening and letting hot water flow to the large silver body that sits above the fuel injectors.  However, the hose on the other side, that goes to the firewall is NOT hot and I can feel NO water pressure.  Any ideas?  Thanks VERY much for your help!  (I had the fan replaced this past summer and it is frustrating not to have heat!)  
Answer -
Back flush the heater core.  This is also a good time to replace all the coolant hoses if they are more than two (2)
years old.
HOW would I go about backflushing the heater core?  Amy suggestions would be appreciated!!!  Thanks!

Answer
Might as well flush the entire system and replace the hoses.
Take off all the hoses and attache a garden hose to the ouput
side of every component and flush with city water.  Also,
did you really get the correct thermostat.  It is vital to
pressure test the system once you have it back together.
