Default 2000 Honda Civic DX h/b a/c problem ***VIDEO***

I have a 2000 Honda Civic dx h/b and when I turn the a/c on and the car is idling, the car will, after about 3 minutes, start to bog or idle erratically.

I have a video posted here.

Can you tell me what this may mean? You have to turn the volume up a little to hear the engine kind of bogging or really running strange. Thanks in advance!

Sounds like the Compressor is seized up. Is it blowing cold air?

It blows cold air while driving. If we sit idle, it doesn't blow as cold as it could.

The A/C sends a signal to the ECU to increase the idle speed when the A/C is turned ON. Maybe this signal is not being received by the ECU or the IACV isn't responding to the ECU command to increase air intake. Are you having any other idle problems?
