This may not apply because of the action WRT the air conditioner.
Our 1991 furnace was giving that sort of trouble on an intermittent basis when we first got the rig a year ago. Had to keep turning it on and off with the thermostat to get it to get going again.
After enough of that I had the thing apart and discovered the burner with the furnace was rusted out where there is a sort of cover over the burner with many little holes in it--big parts of that just gone! So the flame was really wonky.
anyway got that fixed and no more issues like the furnace quits cycling and all that as described in the OP.
Before getting that far, I had also replaced the old analogue thermostat with a new digital one. That does work great, but was not the actual problem as it turned out.
However, the air conditioner business in the OP may be a red herring to the furnace problem or else truly related to it, don't know.
