Default stronger blower motor

My a/c is ice cold by the vents, but simply isn't pushing much air even on the high setting with the dash vent closed, what can I do to get my a/c to blow harder? Is there a stronger blower motor available? Even with temps only at 75° I takes my car forever to cool off

Take the motor out and look in the hole for a mouse nest or other debris in the ductwork and evaporator coil. If there's a bunch of crud in the coil you will probably want to remove it from the car (which requires recovering the refrigerant and recharging later) to clean effectively.

Ast summer I replaced all the O-rings in the a/c system, and pulled out the coil while I was there and cleaned it out really well with some coil cleaner. There was some crud in therebut not too much and even last summer when I cleaned it out it was the same as it is now, but it was getting to be fall and I just toughed it out. So It shouldnt be a clogged coil, but I can look at it again to be sure.

Perhaps your blower motor is just worn out and dying. Try replacing if it's not too expensive.
