Default No heat while idling?

When I am idling and I have my heater set on high heat it blows a slightly worm air out, but as I started to drive down the road it started to blow worm er air the faster I went the worm er it got? What you should now is this is a new disco to me with 120,000 miles the air does blow hard just not worm I looked at some fuses and could find any thing I looked to see if the heater core was disconnected and the two port that go through the heat shield are hooked up!
What should I do next?

Did you do a search for this problem? This is very common and covered like a million times now. Check your coolant level first then let us know if that isn't the problem.

bleed the coolant system. Check your engine temp. If no air in coolant, replace thermostat.

At some point your 03 will more than likely experience everything your 00 does, for the most part. Take notes of the symptoms and the fix so you know what to do when the problems start to pop up on the 03. You've got an excellent opportunity to learn from the 00.

I just replaced the three top hoses they looked a little ballooned I will get the others later but their was very little coolant in the hoses when I removed them! I was able to get a full coolant bottle in it so far and still no heat while idling!!
So I will let her cool down and I will just keep topping her off!
FYI It has never ran hot in fact it runs cooler than the 03!

You need to bleed the air out of the cooling system and replace your thermostat.
It runs cooler because your t-stat is bad which means bad for the engine.

Bottom line, if you haven't bled the system and or don't know how, send me your tele number and I'll walk you thru this.
