Default Blower kicks off once I accelerate on highway

Ok I noticed today that my heater works great at idel and while driving in town, but if I accelerate the blower stops blowing air out of the vents. I also noticed that it switched to blowing out of the defroster vents while accelerating. Then once I let off from the gas pedal the blower kicked back on and blew out of the front dash vents.

Has anyone else ever had this problem, I looked through several topics on blower moter issues and vacume leaks but never seen a problem like this.
Thanks

Wild vents, it's a vacume leak behind the dash man does it to alot of us on here.

If you type in Crazy vents or wild vents in the search feature you will find all kinds of threads on it

check valves in the vac lines, passenger side of engine, between intake manifold and firewall. should be 2 of them, about the size of a nickel, 1/2 inch thick. be sure you put them in right and not backwards.
