I am thinking that this is a blower motor issue, but tell me what you think. I have this Plymouth Acclaim with who knows how many miles. There seems to be a small amount of heat emminating from the vents, but it is intermittant and does not come out with much force. engine coolant is fine.

What do ya think? Blower motor?

If you are not getting any volume on any speeds, I would be suspicious of the motor.

Does it do the same thing with the A/C?
If so, then "Service Writer" is on the right track.
Check for blown fuses. There may be a fuse box under the hood. You are looking for a more substantial fuse than you will find under the dash. The fuse for my car is 50 amps.
Take a good look and get back to us.

Suggested Repair

Check whether airflow is weak on all fan speeds and with the A/C on. Inspect fuses, including a higher-amp fuse that may be in an under-hood fuse box, and suspect the blower motor if there is little or no volume on any speed.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 1989 Plymouth Acclaim reports weak, intermittent heat and little airflow from the vents, with coolant level fine, and suspects the blower motor. Experts say low volume on all speeds points to the blower motor, ask whether A/C airflow is the same, and recommend checking fuses, including a larger under-hood fuse.
