thinking that the blower works on all speeds then this could be an actuator problem or your high blower relay is bad. that should be by the blower. the actuators are in the htr box and you need to check if theya re working. that can direct the air as well asheat/cool. but check your relay first and your switch as it may not be giving the power you need to go on faster speeds. the pic of the actuator is generic

The blower works on all speeds and it sounds like a big rush of air going in to the blower box just not a lot coming out of vents.

check your acutators then, check for a vacuum leak as yours may be run by vacuum.
