A/C systems can blow hot air when the refrigerant is not cooled enough. Condenser blocked or if the fan is not working when you are parked.
With the A/C off you say you have warm air, if so the relays may not be closing down the engine coolant to the heater core. Hopefully this is the case.
The cold air intake goes over the heater relays, did you knock something?
I'm going to retrace my steps before the CAI instal, I do not beleive I hit anything, but that means notheing! I am sceptical of the lack of 132a as I also beleive there should have been a leak found, however I have never owned the car in hot weather and had thought the a/c system was weak so it may have been short on charge from any number of reasons (improper removal of hoses at some point?) but like i said I do not rcall the interiour fan running all the time, and I have read now there is a problem with some resister on the fan motor possibly.

I will dig when I have tim, right now im away from home 15hrs a day on a large project and don't feel like doing much of anything lately!

Thanks Dave
