    Hi there,

    I'm brand new to the forum (and to owning a Tacoma) so my apologies if this has been answered elsewhere.

    I just got an 06 TRD, and like it a lot. But I noticed today that I only get warm air from the vents when the engine is revving. If I'm idling at a stoplight for awhile, or when I start coasting/braking to a stop, the air coming out slowly cools off entirely. Once I'm moving, the air warms back up. Any ideas why this would be?

    Thanks in advance!

    Does your Engine temp vary ??? If So Possible Stuck Thermostat ??? If not Possible air lock. Possible Blocked heater core ??? (Try a flush ?)

    Thanks for the ideas, Canufixit. Engine temp has been constant. I'll try getting any air out of the system and hopefully that does the trick!
