there is a either a engine vacuum problem maybe caused by the oxygen sensor not working properly or your fuel filter needs to be replaced.

Sounds like an overheating problem or lubrication problem. If after it dies you can let it sit for a period to cool down it is most likely a cooling issue. Try removing the Thermostat and see if that seems to help. The thermostat may not be the problem as it could be the water pump not circulating radiator fluid. The reason it takes longer with AC off than with it on is because the strain on the motor is greater with the AC in the On position. Since you didn't mention an overheating issue it is probably a combination of a bad sensor and either faulty Thermostat or faulty water pump. Your also going to want to do a compression check on all cylinders to see if your running high compression on 2 or more indicating a crack in the cylinder wall or a blown head gasket. Lastly there is the oil pump, if that is not circulating oil correctly you will have a lubrication issue that will give you this symptom. If you haven't done so of late do and oil and filter change using gunk engine cleaner additive. This is added to the oil then the engine is run for 5 minutes, then drained. You have to change the oil filter when you use this as running the vehicle with this in the engine will damage the seals.

Your torq converter is failing, I would take it to a transmission shop to confirm
From what you described, sounds like your O/D system is having a difficult time engaging. First thing I would do is to check fluid level and condition to make sure that looks okay. Your trans fluid should be checked after your car is at operating temperature. Engine must be in park with ebrake applied. Trans dipstick tube is on the right side of the car and should have a red color coded handle. Be sure to wear eye protection because you may never know what will happen under of a hood of a running vehicle. If level looks good, then check the condition of the fluid. Should be a clear dark to light red color. If the fluid is dark brown in color, not clear and smells burnt, I would recommend getting the fluid serviced at a reputable auto shop. I would not recommend doing a complete trans flush as this could cause further trans complications. I would recommend doing a partial service where the technician drops the trans pan, replaces trans filter, clean the magnet that collects any small metal debris and replace pan gasket. You will have a few quarts left in the torque converter, but that's okay. Drive the car and see if that helps with the surge concern.
