I had the same problem. I had let the coolant level go too low and air got into the system. Check the coolant level in the overflow reservoir.

How low was the fluid? My reservoir was actually bone dry and a lot of air got in. So much that I actually had to fill it to max a couple of times after the car cooling down before the heater began to work normally.

There is a screw in the back that is used to get the air out, its next to the ATF dipstick. Next to the battery compartment.

I am not sure how to do it, Search around.
