ok, typically what this means is that you have an air pocket in your cooling system. You will need to remove the radiator cap, top off with coolant, start engine and turn on the heat, let idle till it reaches normal operating temperature, then raise and hold the rpm to about 2500-3000 for about 5 seconds, let the engine idle for two minutes, then again raise the rpm to 2500-3000 and hold for about 5 seconds. Do those steps till you have heat at idle. When you have heat at idle just make sure your coolant is full where the radiator cap is then just put the cap back on, and you should be good to go after that.
