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

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.
