Air likely is flowing, it just switches to the defrost vents. Look in the FAQ/DIY section for 'wild vents', the fix is in there.

Is this found in this Form? Wild Vents? Control Button is working for each selection. This Gass thing, you can hear a door closed, no air, till you let off the Gass.

That's wild vents. Yup. The entire system is vacuum controlled, the default setting, when vacuum fails, is defrost. When you step on the gas, manifold vacuum goes down. If your plenum is blown, the problem is even worse.....

FAQ/DIY forum. Link at the top of this one.
