Check your coolant level and make sure it isn't low.

I think it could be something with the vacuum system... does it get cold when you apply the brakes?

His symptoms are classic, 'low coolant'.

Plenty hot with the tach up.
Loss of heat tach low.

A '03 with low coolant... could be plausible. Figuring it's about 5 years old. I'd suggest a coolant flush maybe in the spring.
