When the heater stops blowing air is there no airflow at all or is there airflow but no heat?

Without knowing all of the information like the vehicle history, the components that have been tested or replaced, and the results of any tests that need to be run, I can only give you a general answer to your question.
If you have airflow from the vents or heater with this issue but no heat intermittently and since you were able to flush out the cooling system and it worked temporarily, this can indicate that the heater core itself is plugged up inside the heater box. This can be a common component to plug up and can cause this issue to where it has to be replaced.
The cost to have it replaced in some cases can cost over $400 total parts and labor.

My heater stops blowing air. It will work sometimes and then stop working. It’sa got out miss. I’ve had the blower and resister replaced, I’ve also had the coolant flushed out and replaced. After the blower and resistor were replaced it worked for about a week and then with working. After the coolant was flushed out and replaced it kind of worked. Then yesterday morning it worked all the way to work and then I parked it and it stopped working. It’s weird Mechanic's Assistant: How many miles on the car? How has your mileage been lately?
