With the blower on high is the motor spinning faster than on low, sound / speed should change. If not there is a resistor that controls the speed of the motor. You could check the voltage at the blower motor at different settings to see if it changes. My 95, yours could be different, goes from @ 4 volts on low(1) to 10 volts on high (4).

Is the blower motor not blowing enough air through the vents, or is this a problem with the temperature of the air coming out of the vents?

Some of the aftermarket motors have two leads that you have to splice in, so did you have to do that, or did you buy one from honda that has the proper electrical plug?

Did the motor come with the white plastic cylinder with the fins, or did you reuse the old one?

And yes, if it was an aftermarket blower. Is it spinning in the correct direction? The aftermarket blowers are designed to work in many differnnet models so the direction of the motor can be controled by which side the + and the - are connected to...

The evaporator could be plugged with rubbish since the earlier accords had no cabin filter, but the person changing the blower motor should have checked it while taking the blower assembly out. (even with lots of junk in the evap. it should still blow)

The outside-air/recirculation doors on the blower assembly could have been tampered with or incorrectly put back together if the assembly was taken off. (do you hear the motor engaging and hear some little doors closing while switching from recirculate to fresh air?) recirc. has more flow.

If the motor was connected in reverse polarity you would have air flow coming from below the glove box on recirculate mode.

if its original, let me warn you of the funky smell of 17yrs of build-up on that evaporator. there are no cabin filters on them, but mine has
