Any more guesses about what would cause the vent to blow stale warm air vs. cool air* ( *meaning the temperature of the air directly outside the car - I'm not expecting it to blow cold air ... just not hot air ! )
I cleaned out the fan as you guys directed, and you were right. There was indeed lots of leaves and crap in there.
It solved the problem of noise, and the air force seemed slightly better, but the air is still warm ( ????)
I think Mech called it. When these vents are set to "cold" (not AC) the hot coolant is not allowed jnto the heater core. If the valve clamping off circulation of hot coolant is failing, hot coolant will get into the heater even when you select "cold" vent settings.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
