Humm... it's strange that the car is overheating yet the heater is blowing cool air.
I blew 5 heater cores in my last '97 Tbird (don't ask  Ford crap ) and it did have similar symtoms. So I agree with blake in that it could be a possibilty. Except when mine blew, I got "green" steam coming up behind the dash onto the windshield and coolant would run down all over the passanger side floor. So it wasn't hard to diagnose to say the least.Another theory: As with most pre-'99 3.8's, headgasket failure is always a possibilty. That can and does cause overheating problems. As far as the cool heater air?????: Maybe if enough air is getting into the lines, maybe it could be building up in the heater core? Then there wouldn't be enough hot coolant to heat up the air?
