Doday i realized it takes about 10 min for my car to feel the warm air in the car...what could be wrong that it takes so much time...before the warm air would come on minute after the car was started. please help :(
 
Because your car is not at operating tempter. The thermostat opens around 165-180 depending on what you have in there.

The heater is operated by a heater core which uses your vehicles coolant to heat it. If your car is cold then so will be your heater.

Is that what you need to know?? if not please explane more about the problem.
 
Flush out your radiator and heater core. Also, make sure you don't have any coolant leaks and you've got the proper thermostat in the vehicle. 180°F thermostat. Good rad cap also.
 
After a while the heat came on but it was not as warm like always..and than my idle wnt all the way up and droped to the normal position..
