So on my 98 Ranger the a/c is cooling properly. It gets down close to 40 out the center vent. However, it only does that when the vehicle is stopped or idle. Whenever your foot is on the gas the a/c still blows out the vents but the temperature jumps up about 15 degrees. It sometimes almost completely quits blowing when accelerating under a heavy load up a hill. Of course I thought my vacuum hose came off again on the heater valve since I recently replaced it. The original vacuum lines are so brittle that they always break off and now I've got it patched with some very small diameter vacuum hose. It's always worked for probably 10 years. I checked and all the hoses are connected and the vacuum reservoir hoses are connected. Is this more than likely a blend door actuator going out or is it more likely there is a vacuum line problem? It does have 399,000 miles on it and I've never changed the blend door actuator. I just know it's kinda hard to get to the screws on it so I haven't replaced it.
