Thanks for taking the time to look at my post. You guys have been amazing on here. About 4 months ago I changed out my heater core, it was tough but I got it done and fix the card to get it running. I filled the radiator with water cuz it was in the middle of summer and it look like there was a small leak. I forgot about the leak. I did something really really really stupid and feel retarded and have been running the car for about a month or two without checking the coolant. Is really starting to make some funny noises and I check the coolant and it was bone dry nothing in the radiator or in the reserve tank. I never went to a shop to get a c recharged after I changed out the heater core. So when I try to check to turn the heater on a couple days ago it blew nothing and there was no hot air. I checked the fluid and filled the radiator and the reserve tank. I hope my stupidity has not messed up my car too bad. It has been great this whole time and I am at two hundred and thirty-five thousand miles. I filled the radiator yesterday and the car is running so much better of course duh. Still can't believe I was that retarded and neglected to check. So now I can feel a lot of hot air coming out but it's not blowing really at all. Do you guys have any suggestions on what I could do to get it to blow harder. It is about 5 to 15 degrees in the morning and by the time I scrape the ice off the windshield it comes right back after driving for 2 seconds. Please let me know if there's anything I can do.

Ice on the inside of the windshield would be a defective heater core.

I changed heater core because smoke would come inside of car and over heat instantly

Gary, see if your blower motor has junk in it or is turning real slowly.

3 bolts and it's out through the engine bay.
