AC problem

When the AC is on, and I get to a stop sign, a red light, the engine shuts down. Help, please!! No engine check light, and it happens only when AC is on!

"Drive by wire" have an idle adjustment???

Is the idle rough with the AC off? You may need to clean the throttle body (carbon build up behind the throttle valve). This is common on our trucks. If the idle is fine though without the AC, then I'd pass on cleaning the throttle body.
