John, 
I have the exact same problem with my car! Currently, I have no A/C due
to an unrelated compressor problem. Anyways, the last two days have been
cool here so I have tested the heater. I can feel warm air under the dash,
but it is not coming from any of the vents and is very weak. The fan motor
makes a lot of noise, but i assume if I feel warm air it is blowing the
right way?!? Turning the control knob seems to make very little difference
in the flow of air(which is next to none). Sometimes I can turn to defrost
and get weak flow out of defroster vents. With this in mind, I guess I can
rule out a vacum problem and a blower problem and concentrate on the Mode
switch. Am I right? Joe/James/Marty--What do you guys think? Contact me off
list if necessary. Thanks.

Nate
