Heater will blow cold air then hot air then cold air car temp is 190

Low coolant, if there is an air pocket in the engine it will make it to the heater core. Once there , the air coming out is cold/cool. Once the coolant fills the heater core, it gets hot. If the coolant is fine hot or cold, then have the HVAC system scanned.

Why is My Car AC Blowing Hot Air? - BlueDevil Products

The heater hose's going into the passangers compartment through the fire wall are they both hot ? Possible plugged heater core !

Heater core is not working.

Assuming the radiator is full of coolant, and the engine is reaching normal temp of 190 degrees, you could have a blocked heater core or the temp control valve may not be working on the heater hose.
I would check to see if both heater hoses are getting hot.

This will help.Thanks.

A couple of things come to mind. One is the thermostat is hanging open. The other is the cooling fans are running when they shouldn't. With the car idling, open the hood and see if the fans are blowing. Do you have a temperature gauge in the dash? Should be reading about 200 degrees all the time. Maybe a little less at highway speeds but not below 190 degrees.
The other thing is the heater core may be plugged. Have you changed the anti-freeze and flushed the system recently? Added any StopLeak to the radiator?
Also... if the heater temp controls are activated by vacuum (I'm not sure on your model), you may have a leaky vac hose to the heater control panel.
Could be any of these and could something else. I tried to hit the obvious ones... :)

Good Luck.

if you put a 160 degree thermostat in it or lower it will not get hot you need at least a 190 a low temp thermostat is only good in the summer i bet that will solve your problem

It sounds to me like you're low on coolant. When you checked the coolant level, did you actually open the radiator cap and make sure the radiator is full? The plastic tank you generally add coolant too is actually an 'overflow' or 'reserve' tank. There is a hose that runs from that tank to the top of the radiator so if the radiator gets low on coolant, more coolant -should- run in from the overflow tank. However in practice this does not always work. I have a Jeep that leaks coolant and experiences this exact same problem. Coolant will not run from the reserve tank into the radiator because the hose is plugged up, and whenever the radiator gets low on coolant the temp gauge will go real high and then drop, and the heater doesn't work well. This is because the cooling system of your car is supposed to be a closed system, full of coolant and no air. When coolant leaks out, the space it used to occupy is now occupied by air, which does not transfer heat well. When 'air' is passing through your cooling system, no heat can be transferred from your engine to the heater and radiator, resulting in a hot engine and no heat at the heater. Then when a pocket of water passes through the system, the temperature gauge quickly falls as the water absorbs the heat from the engine. The hot water that cools the engine is where the heater gets it's heat from as well, so when water passes through the heater core, the heater works, but when it's filled with air, it doesn't.

Replace the temp control on this car, it should be electrical control not cables.
