Heating Issue

Heating Issue
'03 G35 just hit 180,000. Until now, no problems whatsoever.
Here's my issue: it will not heat while sitting in traffic; it even cools somewhat when I let out of the accelator. But when I accelerate, it seems to heat fine. Coolant is all good and I do not have any warning lights on. Thankfully, I only have about 15-20 minutes of my daily commute sitting in traffic. Then, I hit country backroads.
SO... any ideas/suggestions as to the nature of my heating problem would be helpful. I won't be able to get it looked at until the weekend...
THANKS in advance!

Really??? You just DID NOT reference the fact that because I'm a "gurl" you assume I know everything about bleeding!?!? Look...I didn't get the notification about bleeding in the other forum. I also thought that this could possibly be a separate issue - hence the new post. Yes, I'm a woman, but I'm learning as I go. I'm sure you wasn't Mister-Know-It-All when you first started working on cars either!! Also, there was no need to throw the fact that I'm a woman into this....it's an honest question that I thought I could help with on here. I certainly wasn't expecting this type of response!

Her heater is not working right and the coolant is not the issue here. Coolant cools the engine and the the hot coolant circulate through the heater, and the blower blows the hot air into the cabin.
The issue here is the heater. I would suggest that you have a shop to check it out rather than getting inaccurate suggestions here.

No if the thermostat was stuck open it would more than likely heat up while stop since there is no air moving through the radiator unless the fans are on but while moving you have a lot more air going through the radiator keeping the coolant cool that's why people you have cooling problems the water temp jumps up when you stop and starts to drop when you start moving again same as the air conditioner it cools more when your moving.
