I want to hear more as well.
I was the "first complaint". For my 89, it's not the rear AC but the front. Just shuts down like it's not getting fuel or electricity. Only when the AC is on, only when the weather is hot outside. Goosing the accel pedal brings it out of it's stall if I catch it before it dies entirely. All the usual culprits (ignition components, fuel pump, filter, battery, alt etc) are new and/or test ok.
What kind of gremlins live in those Gen I AC systems that keep trying to stall our vans?
