1992 Honda Accord Wagon - A/C Blower Works Then Dies Repeatedly

Yesterday, I was sitting idle with the A/C on, it was hot outside (110 f) in
Phoenix. After 10-15 minutes, the A/C blower fan slowed down to almost
nothing where little air was blowing. It didn't appear to die altogether.
But it was close.

Since then, whenever I turn on my A/C and crank the fan switch to high, the
same thing happens where the A/C works fine and the blower works for about
10 seconds, then slows down again to almost nothing.

When traveling on the highway, you can tell the A/C is working okay because
there is a little air movement and that little amount of air is cool.

Sounds like a bad fan motor. But I would verify proper voltage before
I
condemned it.. Do you smell any kind of burning or electrical smell
when this happens? When fan motors go out, they often overheat
and sometimes you can smell it.
