Blower motor question
How hard do these things blow out air, say compared to like a Ford Mustang AC. Trying to figure out if i have problem that needs attending to or if its just the way it is. I do not just have one speed, its just on max AC it seems a little weak. Like the high side of the resistor is out. Which i am sure it doesn't have, I'm sure its controlled by some vacuum,operated fiber optic module or some German craziness like that. Its the weekend i dont have access to my shop database so i am not sure how exactly its controlled.

The motor controller is attached to the motor, and it's above the passenger footwell, under e cover held by 3? screws. It might also be that the cabin air filter is clogged restricting the airflow. Or the air direction flaps sometimes jam/break - read the sticky on clicking ac etc.

Oh ok i read that cause i kind of have a ticking but only on start up and it seems to move the air around where you tell it to. I was going to go ahead and replace that part anyway. I wasn't aware that could cause this issue as well. Thanks.
