If the heater core isn't leaking, it isn't bad.
You may have a problem with the flapper doors in the ducting. This car may have a valve to control the water going thru the heater core as well.

u need to be on pimp my ride or somethin, but for real, go to a chop shop
well,if the core is on the pass side then replace.if on drivers side-ouch!-trade it in.
That's a tough chore, you have to just about remove your dashboard from the car to get to the thing. First thing you'll need is a haynes or chilton's manual. then remove the bolts securing the dasto the firewall on the passenger side of the car, next drop the duct work in front of the heater core, then drain the radiator fluid from the car. remove the lines from the heater core at the fire wall, remove the core, replace, reconnect the lines, refill the radiator, replace the duct work, and reinstall the dash, make sure you don't break any wires or lines connecting the duct controls. Sounds easy right? Good Luck. A shop will usually charge around $250- $400 It will take you a solid day, you will cuss a lot, and God himself will turn his back on yo for weeks becuse of the things you will say about him. If you or some one you know is hndy you can try this. Go to an auto parts store and buy a tube of radiator stop leak, (wait for the good part) you will also need a drill operated fluid transfer pump, a cheap one is about $20 bucks, some hose that is the same size as the in and out on your core, and some HOT water. Hook the bottom line to your core, and to the pump on the drill, take the HOT water mixed with stop leak and pour it into the hose hooked to the core, put it on the pump. Turn the drill on and circulate it for as long as you care to or until no water leaks from the core (you may burn up the drill) Then flush it with clean water and reconnect the system. I say do this the hard way because I don't advocate putting metal flakes into your cars coolings system, which could potentially foul up something that isn't a problem now, It might cost $75 but could save you $300.
