00' Civic Ex 2dr auto. So when ever my car is idling w/o the ac on its fine. When im driving around with the ac on and i get to a light or stop my car idles real low then dies. If on the freeway and i let go of the gas it dies....

Any one have this problem or maybe know what this could be? I'm thinking the IACV but it doesn't fluctuate at idle with no load.

Doesn't matter. Clean IACV, PCV, and FITV if you got one. Search google or this forums. I think people are getting sick of repeating this over and over.

Where does your car idle, both at no load and at full load?

It idles with no load at about 700rpm(in spec) but with the AC on it will just idle about 200rpm then stall.

Make sure the belt tightness is within spec. Have a friend turn on the AC and give it a little throttle while you're under the hood, listening for any noises in the clutch assembly. It's a remote possibility that your compressor is going out, creating drag on the system, and stalling it out.
