2000taurus se ffv 6cyl. No cold air from a/c. Replaced relays and charged up system to about 45psi or blue on the recharge gage. But not cold. Think maybe I neet to change the orifice? Also lately when starting from stop engine will die. But will start right up. Had problem before engine would run ruff and die, wait little bit and would start up no problem. Code indicated low fuel rail pressure. Still will idle ruff sometimes but not engine light comes on. Just have to restart it. I did get a p0133 the last time. Slow o2 sensor. Bank1 sensor1. Been couple months ago. Any thoughts.
cotton.

You have about 3 different issues there and they all need to be addressed in separate questions. The A/C is not something that you can diagnose yourself. You can do a lot of damage to the vehicle and/or get seriously injured messing with that.

A slow 0/2 code is just that. The o/2 is slow to respond meaning it's probably clogged and should be replaced. It could also mean it's seeing lean mixture. You have a fuel pressure code so obviously you should be verifying fuel pressure and comparing the reading with what the computer is seeing. This ic a computer controlled, variable pressure system.
