I just purchased a 94 Sunbird. When I was driving it around I noticed some thing very strange. As soon as I start moving the car will blow hot air out of the heater, but as soon as I stop it would start blowing cold air. I start to move again and the hot air comes back. Is this normal for a Sunbird. If not, what would cause something like this. I know if it was just blowing cold air out all the time what to do, but have never seen this happen in any car I have owned

Thanks
 
If this is a 2.0 Litre engine, your timing belt is on the way out. It drives the water pump.
 
does the temperature gauge move when this happens, low reading when cold air, higher reading when warm air?
