How to diagnose 2nd floor radiator?

Hello,

Looking for advice on how to diagnose a 2nd floor steam radiator, single pipe. When the boiler kicks on, the radiator makes "breathing" noises but doesn't get hot. I can also hear some gurgling noises in the vertical pipe coming up from the basement. However, there are times when the radiator does get hot, such as early in the morning or in the late afternoon. The radiator is at the opposite end of the house from the boiler. What can I do to diagnose/fix this?

Thank you.
