Default Re: How do troubleshoot a blockage?

Thanks for the responses so far.

It is a 1995 Accord EX, standard, 99k, 4 cyl, here in New Hampshire, US.
Sorry.

Reason for suspecting blockage is based on suggestions by auto shops in
the area. If I turn the fan on, I can hear it come on and accelerate at
higher settings (off through 4). So the fan seems to be blowing.
Additionally, when I go from recirc to fresh air and back, I can hear
the difference there as well (recirc being louder).

We are not getting any real airflow through ANY vents - lower, torso, or
defrost.

We also suspect an A/C problem, but that may simply need a recharge or
something similiar. But without a good airflow to feel, I'm not really
looking to address that issue yet. First things first, I guess - UNLESS
someone tells me that the two issues are likely related. Then, of
course, I'm all ears.

Will look into all suggestions and see if I can figure out how the air
flows.
