    Heat doesn't really work

    If I leave the temp dial on hot and open the vents it'll come out hot for about four to five seconds and then pretty quickly cool off. If I close the vents for a few minutes and then open them back up the same thing will happen. If I leave the vents open the air coming out will cool almost to outside temperature while driving, if I come to a stop it will be outside temp coming out the vents.

    If I run the 'recycle' button it'll stay warmer (not sure how long, seemed to be at least the last five-seven minutes of my trip to work this morning) - but it's still not hot. Again, while sitting stopped it'll cool down, but not get outside temp with the recycle button on.

    Any ideas? The head has previously been off for, what I was told, a timing chain and it looks like green coolant was used. I took the throttle body heater thing (dumb) off and put in all new heater hose and flushed most of it and used zerez g05 (still some green).
