Heater isn't hot 94 camaro

My heater doesn't really work in my 94 z28. It blows air slightly warmer than the outside temp. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated, thanks

You need to flush out your heater core because it is more than likely clogged up. My heater never worked for the first three years I owned it until I flushed the heater core about 7 months ago.

Yep, flush the heater core. Remove the hoses at the water pump and flush both ways with a garden hose. Keep any water off the opti. You might be surprised at the gunk that comes out.

Are you low on coolant?
Is your water pump leaking?

I don't think I have any leaks I'll try flushing my heater core. I'm not too worried because it is warming up but I definitely want it for the winter.

Another benefit of flushing it out is that any gunk that settles in the core will accelerate corrosion and rust through. So heat is not the only issue.
