I had the same problem before and I just needed to top up my coolant and it fix the job, check your level.

EDIT: I had it happen in an 03 Celica T-Sport

Is you engine temp gauge sitting at its normal operating temp? If the engine is not heating up then your thermostat could be stuck open and allowing the coolant to circulate all the time and not allowing the engine to heat up, therefore you would have little or no heat.

+1

Also does your heater improve when your sitting stopped in traffic for a few mins?
