Recently when the air conditioner is on and the car is idle, for example at a stoplight, the car starts to shake, stutter like it's about to cut off. Sometimes when I first start and then turn on the air conditioner, cuts off. However, when the air conditioner isn't on the car is fine most of the time. Just yesterday, it did the same thing without the a/c on for the first time. What could be the cause of that? BTW the air works fine, it runs cold however it seems the car cant support both the air condition and engine running at the same time.
I have the 2.4L DOHC Engine with ~64,000 miles on it. I don't know if that makes a difference. Thanks!
 
yep i would have it put on a diagnostic you may have a bad sensor. either on the co2 or the crankshaft or the fuel or the idle sensor. wow, hope its somethin simple and how is your battery?
