Did you fix your problem? Have you work on you cooling system lately (flush, replaced coolant,
added a significant amount of coolant, leak, water pump, hoses, etc? Although low coolant level is a possible correct diagnosis, your problem on hand is not such. Trapped air bubbles will cause flow interruptions. This will only happen at idle since increased RPMs move water with more force-moving the trapped air; therefore, your heater works well as long as the RPMs are above ~1000. What you need to do is bleed your cooling system correctly. If your coolant is low, yes this problem will be more evident. By adding coolant, you are making it more difficult for the air bubbles to get stuck and, perhaps, incidentally removing the air while adding the coolant... that is why adding coolant my solve the problem. None the less, either low coolant or air on your system you HAVE to bleed your system correctly every time you work on your cooling system. If you have a permanent leak, this will be a PERMANENT problem until you fix the leak.

Guaranteed. Engine vacuum has no effect on any of the climate controls of the car. Besides just re-filling the engine coolant, more importantly I'd recommend finding out where the coolant is leaking. > Ive got a 99 intrepid 2.7 and im having heat probs.
