Default Truck dies with A/C on

Lately when I am driving with my A/C on, my truck will occasionally die when I go to stop at a stop sign or stop light. It doesn't sputter or anything it just loses power and is dead. But when I drive without my A/C, there's no issues at all and it never happens. I have a 2004 F150 4.6L XL.

Any ideas what might be causing this?

Anyone? I've checked battery cables and I'm going to clean the MAF and throttle body but those seem to me line things that would cause it to happen all the time, not just when the AC is on.

Pull your throttle body and clean it, it could be gummed up. Also check your air filter and air box piping for debris... Clean your MAF while you are servicing the intake... This sounds like the usual throttle body issue these trucks are prone to.

Exactly what especial said. I cleaned both on mine and helped it idle much better
