2001 olds silhouette van has no heat at idle. overflow tank is full, and the system has been bled twice. any suggestions? flow problem? bad water pump?

If this is just happening with the low RPM of idle I guess I would suspect the water pump. I have never found it myself yet but there are a few reports right here of the impeller corroding and then requiring more RPMs to circulate the coolant. ?? Perhaps to verify that you could feel for the heat at the hoses and rev the engine to see if it dramatically improves,
