Maybe its time for you to clean out your system?

Lost your manifold vacuum? If the ventilation system has no vacuum to work with to change its duct settings, it'll default to blowing through the defroster and/or floor outlets only. Maybe someone knocked a vacuum line off somewhere under the hood.

oh oh oh...(I love this one) ...check the small black tank to the left of the brake master cylinder. There should be two vac lines hooked up to it. If not, one should be hanging around very close.

ok so i took a look at in on my lunch break, i found the two vaccum hoses to the left of the firewall and they were both plugged in BUT the one hose was really weird. it had a larger hose that it also connected to w/ some fitting. but everything was together.

Do you hear any hissing noises with the engine running in that area?
