Air control heat knob needs removing to determine if its the knob itself, this will just pull off, look at reverse of knod and look to see if the center locating pigot is worn "round" or broken , if this looks ok then the panel housing the knob controls will need removing and then check if the heat control wire is in place, if so trace this wire ,this is a bare steel control wire not an electrical the wire, to the heater box lower dash behind the control panel and see if you can manually move the heat control flap this will look like two toothed semi circular cogs that inter lock , one may have jumped out of place try a little vaseline on the cogs to help lubricate the movement,this is just good practice, after all this i think you will have found the problem.

If my freezon would be low then why is it very cold air when I'm going on the road

because the temp difference between the hi and low side will be greater faster than a normally charged system the reason it cycles off is the keep the evap. from freezing up, but running to low on Freon can cause poor lubrication in the compressor causing damage to the compressor, yes it will blow very cold for a short period of time with a low charge

No heat or air in cabin of 1992 honda accord

You may have two problems here. If there's no fresh air coming in then perhaps the vent is closed and the actuator that opens it is stuck, but you should still get heat even if the air control is stuck in recirculate mode. Does the car overheat? Where is the temperature gauge after you've driven for 15 minutes or so? Does it move off "COLD" and stop somewhere in between HOT and COLD? If your car isn't leaking coolant, either inside the cabin or outside, and the temp gauge is more or less halfway between hot and cold, then it sounds like you have a blocked heater core or hose. Even if your fan doesn't work you should get some heat. You might take it to a garage and have them pressure test your cooling system.

The heater kicks on but only blows cold air

Air Temperature Control Blend Door Failure No Heat or no AC (dependes on where door sticks)

In all modern cars there is a tiny DC electric motor driven gear drive that moves a plastic door that blends heated and cooled air from the AC and the heater core, this is called (interestedly enough) the air temperature control blend door actuator. The motor that moves this door fails because the door starts sticking from warping, most common complaint is no heat but it can be no AC as well. To replace these parts (blend door and blend door actuator) you must remove the entire dash from the car. Always have this problem confirmed by a dealer or qualified repair shop as it is a very expensive repair.

Other causes of no heat in the cabin are engine thermostats that are stuck open (engine runs cold) or air bubbles in the cooling system.
