The vent actuator (thing that pushes the air through the selected vent) is driven by vacuum pressure (air pressure) in this car. The vacuum lines are rubber. Rubber lines that are under the hood dry rot over time with the constant warming up and cooling down of the engine. They can either leak or just collapse under pressure. All you have to do is open the hood, find the leaking vacuum line, and replace it. If it is a collapsed line, a link to a how-to guide is below:

You probably do not need a vacuum gauge, just to find the leaking/collapsing line (s) and replace them. They can bought very cheaply from your local auto parts store.
So all you have to do is find the leaking line and replace it.
