It is not low. Previous to this happening, it would over heat and then rev up the engine, then it would cool down. I replaced the thermostat. It no longer over heats, but will get cold air at low rpmis this it?

both symptoms sound sounds like you are low on antifreeze. It seems like you got more coolant into it so it isn't overheating anymore but not enough to keep the heat working all of the time .
You may want to take it somewhere that can use a vacuum system to fill it to get all of the air pockets out .
