Been having a issue where ACARS and FSX would always freeze together for anywhere from 1-30 minutes then seems to unfreeze by its self. This process seems to rinse and repeat frequently on flights longer than 3 hours. Anyone have any idea's to fixing it or had this problem before?

I doubt ACARS is the root cause however on an unstable system anything could act as a catalyst. Speaking for myself it is common for applications associated with FSX to resort to a "not responding" state when FSX freezes. That includes FSInn and ACARS. There are many reasons FSX can hang it can be difficult to pinpoint the root cause but there are many suggestions in the FSX community which you could try.

Taehun, I too have the same problem and I believe it is ACARS doing an autosave during flight. I have flown for other airlines and my problem(like yours) only happens with ACARS. It happens about every 30mins refresh. Im told its something in ACARS but I haven't figured it out yet.
