06 E250 pausing air

I drive an 06 e250 with 99k on it for work and when I am driving around and the engine gets under any strain the air shuts off and when the engine returns to normal the air comes back on. I have filled and charged the freon cause I was told maybe it was low, no change.Hope someone has an idea of what I can do to fix this.

You have issues with the vacuum control system---possibly a leaking servo somewhere, cracked hose or any number of other things. Your worst case scenario is the reservoir having developed a leak---they're very difficult to replace, or so I've heard.

Look for a heater control system vacuum diagram and start checking it out--doesn't sound to bad at all.

and then check the charge as you probably overcharged it and that will make it worse.

Isn't the air actually reverting to the defrosters when this happens rather than shutting off?

This is probably what's happening-----93Ranger might be describing it differently.

More than likely the charge is incorrect now too----both somewhat easy to fix.

It is reverting to the defrost and the floor vents so I will check my charge again and see if that is my problem. I spent an hour one day looking for a vacuum leak and could not find one anywhere. Thanx for the info as it is hot as hell here in TN. and it shuts down constantly.
