You either have air in the coolant system or it's low on fluid.

if you set it auto, blower will not blow untile it is warmed up. try to put everything manual

yeah your fluid probly got too low and now you have a air pocket in your cooling system. theres a ton of threads of how to fix it.

It sounds like I have a similar issue (I use the manual setting for the heater) when the car is stopped & running the heater blows cold air....but when I am driving it starts blowing warm/hot air again.
