The front vents on my Ody 96 Ac just stopped blowing air,the two side vents
are fine,my question is :are those doors controlled by pneumatic or
electrical circuits?

They are operated by engine vacuum. You either have a vacuum hose that's
come off or broken or a bad check valve. Also possibly a bad vacuum
modulator - (the gizmo that actually operates the vents)

Your problem could be anywhere between the engine compartment and
somewhere behind the dash. It really is a crap-shoot. These are flexible
plastic hoses (miniature). You're going to have to pull the dash down to
locate the problem. The ductwork could also have simply come apart behind
the dash. Either way some disassembly is going to be required. You might
want to go to Autozone and purchase a service manual for your Ody.

The actuators on my '98 (Gen 1) are electric motors. The Chilton's
manual #30300 covers the Gen 1 and Gen II Ody, as well as gen 1 CR-V. In
Canada, the Honda dealers seem to keep that manual in stock.
