    First of all, do you have coolant in the system? (Let's hope so if you are running the engine).
    When running, what is the temperature gauge doing? Is it moving to the "normal" range?
    If so, you need to find the heater hoses under the hood and make sure they are hot.
    If all of this checks out it sounds like you have a stuck or inoperative door in the heating air distribution system.
    I would check for pinched vacuum lines between the HVAC controls and the heating system itself.
