Heat doesn't work, replaced heater core and valve. Its getting cold too!!!!

Hey I am really confused. My vents blow air, but not hot air.

I replaced the heater core (and the little vane that switches between hold and cold is functioning also) and I replaced the valve by the throttle body, and still it won't blow hot air.

Any ideas on what else it could be?

Check for vacume on the line to the heater control valve. Mine stopped working...and I got lazy...just tapped another vacume line that had vacume full time, and put it on my heater control valve. Now it's toasty all the time. When I move to texas I will probably remove that

Check your thermostat it could be stuck. I saw this alot when I used to work as a mechanic.
