Default a/c weak air

My 1995 prelude A/C is working as far as blowing cold air, but the fan doesn't seem to blow hard especially when its on number 1 i cant barely feel the air coming out so i always switch it to high. the blower seems to be working fine a/c is cold but air is weak. Has anybody ever had this problem? and do we have a/c filters for 4th gens? thanks

you blower resistor is bad and it is located at the bolwer housing you'll se a plug that connects to the blower unplug it and theres gonna be to screws holding the female plug that stays on the blower housing itself remove it and get another one put back on an thats it problem fixed.

heres an easy way to check:
start your car but stay parked (if your moving air will come through the vents either way while the system is set to pull in outside air) turn on the fan to level 1, 2, or 3 and feel for air and listen for the fan to cycle on.
If the fan only cycles on on the highest setting, then yeah its the resistor, and good luck with that. I just did this a bit under a year ago and it is a major PITA if you don't want to pull the whole dash. After I did it, I questioned if it was really worth all that work to have the 1-3 settings.
If the fan cycles on for all 4 settings, but you still think it feels weak, then you may want to change out the blower motor, which is still a small pain, but not nearly as bad as the resistor.

hell if your down there replacing either or i would just replace both at the same time because yes it is pain in the *** as i did this earlier this summer, trust me it will be worth your time. Most will say "if it aint broke why fix it", this is an exception to that saying atleast i say it is lol.
