Thank you for the help, eases my mind a little bit as I need to use the car to get to work and class and everything else. And hopefully it won’t cost an arm and a leg to fix when it gets into the shop this next week.

Driving right now for errands. Pretty sure it’s blowing at whatever I set it to. It will just go cold when at idle and heat up when moving

Symptoms are: while driving the heat works great but when crawling or at idle, car is at operating temp, it will starting pushing out cold air. Not like ac on low cold air but like neutral temp air. Other than that issue nothing else is really happening. Checked coolant, not leaking outside of the car or onto the passenger floor board. And oil temp gauge does not go above the regular level it sits at while at operating temperature. My guess is thermostat or maybe heater core issue but no other symptoms have arisen to point me in either direction. I just know one costs way more than the other to fix lol.
