maybe a relay that opens the vents up to let warm air in from your engine went out
digital or analog climate control?

could it be his blower? I say that because my mom's lexus had a bad blower motor and she has dual climate controll and only one side would blow hot air and the other kept blowing cool air.
my car is the same way, but im just gonna let my friend fix it for me, im gonna try and get it fixed this weekend, ill let u know what is wrong with mine.

there's a valve that opens up when you set the A/C controls to cold, letting cold air in, and that may be stuck. Look in the FSM for it: www.phatg20.net

if it's an auto climate control, replace the "intake temperature sensor" located downstream of the evaporator behind the glove box.
It's a PITA to replace, but the sensor only costs $10 or so...

I did have heat on the 85 degree setting, but only that setting and there wasn't any variation of temperature between 65 and 84. Josh was right....it is a pain in the a$$ to change. It took me 1 1/2 hours to change it. Thanks again Josh.

just as a side note....I think I mentioned I actually cracked part of the bottom of the evap box when trying to get in there....Welll........as it turns out its the part of the box that condensed water drains out of the car....which means that for the week after I did it, whenever I had the A/C on it was draining this water onto my passenger floormat...grr.
nothing some clear silicone and duct tape didn't fix though
ghetto....

I think he has the non automatic climate control. In that case, look under your hood. There should be a heater hose going to the firewall with a valve. Push on that valve one way or the other and see if you get heat now.
If you dont, then coolant isnt going to your heater core.
Make sure you have enough coolant in the system and it's purged of air. If this still doesnt work, check your water pump.
