The car has had the fuel pump replaced, along with the fuel filter, after which time the car started to stall out at idle. I then had the distributer replaced along with the spark plugs. What could be some of the problems? What posible sensors could be fouling out? As there is no check engine light on.

My a/c does not always blow cold air this summer so I got some r134a and a hose w/gauge from AutoZone (great price).

The air was set to max and on the highest setting. The gauge reading was normal (35-40), but then after a few minutes I saw it climb to 70 as the compressor cycled off. I thought when on max, the compressor did not cycle off???

Does this indicate a problem with the compressor or something other than just freon?

Im getting low MPG and heard that this part could be cleaned with Carb, choke and throttle body cleaner, and will help with mileage. A link to a picture or a how to or just a general location of where its at would be helpful.

1987 Ford 1 ton dually w/ 460 engine. Has sat most of the time over the past couple of years. We have replaced the spark plugs and wires. And yes, they are in the proper firing order. This truck starts right up and runs like a raped ape. Most of the time it comes and goes w/o incident. It is used to pull a 4 horse gooseneck trailer and we cannot have it doing this w/ the trailer loaded. It has quit running on us twice now while driving at about 50 mph. At this speed it back fired then just quit running. The rest of the time has been while it is going at about 25 mph. At this speed it just simply quits running. It will crank over but not start. It has been taking about 30 minutes b4 it will start again. Is this an air flow problem, could something have been put in the gas tank? We are at wits end trying to figure this one out.
