VERY common.

If you put fan on high, and it sounds the same in either fresh and recirc, then it is the flapper is stuck.

there is also a valve under the hood on the heater hoses which turns the coolant flow to the heater core on and off. I have seen plenty where the little wire comes off and it no longer moves according to the temp setting on the control panel.
When I have the car blowingair on the fresh sir and recirc settings , the amount of air increases as I move the handle, but the airflow is still weak.

Also, I have my dash apart and I am looking at the AC condenser. Is this the part that could be plugged ?
Also, the impeler blades are located here as well ?

Thanks.

BTW I do plan to look in the shop manual for this, but thought others might find the information useful since this is a common problem and directly related to FE.

( Use of AC drops MPG )

Thanks
