99 CHevy astro no heat

99 Chevy Astro has no heat and no AC, temp gauge inside never rises despite how far you drive. Only blows cold air. Thermostat is functioning properly, replaced all the vacuum lines and flushed the radiator twice. Coolant levels are fine. What else could it be aside from the heater core? I did pull the heater core and it looks fine, no clogs. We have been told it could be the heater core, the heater control valve... What is going on here?

SOURCE: chevy astro van heater blowes only cold air

the problem is probably the heater core, it can become clogged with dribris. this stops heat from the engine getting to it and then no heat.

SOURCE: 1999 Ford Taurus, no heat.

Try checking the two pipes that go into and come out of the heater matrix, is one of them hot? if it is there is an air lock within the matrix, Also is the thermostat opening fully? Sorry i know you said you have changed it twice already but take it out check settings when it should open and close, then boil some water and test the thermostat

SOURCE: I have a 02 Chevy Blazer.Heater only blows cold

Check the blend door actuator. Not sure where it is but usually right of center on the heater box, near the core. Looks like the picture below. Maybe you can trace the wires from the control panel. These actuators have a tendency to strip their gears--you may even hear it clicking as it tries to rotate the door. If not, plug it back in after you take it off to see if it will actuate. If the actuator turns, doublecheck the door to see if you can rotate it by hand. If the door is jammed, you may have to pull the whole box out to repair it. Let us know if you have more questions.

Why does my temp gauge rise to hot when the van is off - but as soon as the key is switched on it goes back to the cold end of the temp gauge

The gauge is unpowered when you turn the key off, so the needle can go wherever it wants to. When you turn the key on, the gauge gets power and will show the actual engine coolant temperature.

Our 99 astro van has been setting for about 4 months. It was in the shop for a ignition coil and back on the road. Now the heat will not work, the fan is blowing but will not heat up. also the temp gauge...

I am thinking the thermostat is stuck closed. Take of the top radiator hose and take off housing and put the thermostat in a pot and heat up to boiling temperature and see if it opens. If it doesn't replace it. This happens when a car is not used for a long time.

2000 chevy astro cargo van. the heat registers on the gage but little comes out and only out defrost. thermostat????

If it is blowing hot air out of the defroster and not out of the heater vents then the door that directs the heat from the defroster isn't working properly it is blocking the heat from going to the heater vents. Also check the cold air door. It sounds like it isn't closing all the way to shut off the cold air and not letting the hot air pass.
