Hey, Cal

<snip> An acquantance just purchased a '98 with the 4 cyl 5 speed. He is
not
getting any heat from it. They have changed the thermostat but it didn't
 seem to help much. Is this somewhat normal for the 4 cyl. or maybe they
 just got a defective thermostat and they should change it again?<snip>

They could pull the t-stat & check in a pot of heated water to see if it's
functioning...
If it is...
Are the hoses to & from the heater core hot after she warms up? If not the
core may be shot...
Any sign of antifreeze on the oil dipstick? If yes, head gasket may be
shot...
What condition is the antifreez in? Is the mix right?
HTH,
