Default Out of my mind!!!!

New here so be gentle!
I bought a 1995 F150,and I love it. But there is a problem. Between 30-60 mph the truck jerks and spits and sputters and the a/c shuts off. Then it smoothes out and the air comes back on Any ideas?

Check or replace your battery ground cable.

That's something I never considered. I am lacking the knowledge of what effects what. Thank you, I will try that this afternoon!!! I hope that is the problem, will post the outcome. Can you explain why you think that could be the problem? I have no starting issues.

Can you pinpoint it to an RPM range instead of a MPH? I am just wondering if you were to drop it into 1st and brought it up to 3k rpm if you would notice the same thing.

Sounds like you have a vacuum leak somewhere.
