I'm Freezing My *** off!
So my heating doesnt work, which is odd, i know. AC works fine, but the moment i switch it over to heat, the airflow drops to next to nothing and it doesnt even get very warm. I am guessing there is a clog somewhere along the ducts, but beyond that, i have no idea where to look. any suggestions?

I would suggest checking the heater core. Its located behind the glove box. Had to replace mine because it was leaking. If you have a Hane's manual or some other tech manual for your car it should have a detailed section on how to do it. That would cause a problem with it not heating up, but as for the airflow actually droping im not sure.
Be careful though because it will have coolant running through it.

you guys missed the key words "airflow drops to next to nothing" whats probably happened is that the external fins on the heater core are covered with **** it often happens when they have been leaking (slightly) and dirt and crap is stuck to it not letting air through so in other words no amount of flushing is going to help you since the part where air flows though is plugged you need a new heater core
