Default a/c blower

I just turned on my A/C and even with the fan on high it is barely blowing air out the ducts. The air seems to be cold, just not enough. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Sounds like a typical vacuum problem. Usually caused by the battery leaking and damaging the nylon vacuum lines below and behind the battery. Had it happen to me twice. No more cheap batteries. They are too expensive when they leak and cause damage.

Vacuum controls the doors for the HVAC ducts. It comes from the rear of the manifold and goes down to the passengers fender well to a black plastic reservoir can.

The small nipple supplies vacuum to the reservoir.





The vacuum lines are black plastic and easily damaged! Start by making sure that you have vacuum!!

You can access the fender well at the access panel in the passengers fender well:
