When the idle drops when the AC is on, it may be a sign of an issue with the idle control system.

Here
are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and fix the problem:

1. Check the air filter: A clogged air filter can restrict the airflow to the engine, making it work harder
and causing the idle to drop when the AC is on. Check the air filter and replace it if necessary.

2. Check the battery: A weak battery can cause the engine to struggle when the AC is on. Check the
battery voltage and replace it if it is old or weak.

3. Clean the throttle body: A dirty throttle body can restrict the airflow and cause the engine to struggle
at idle. Clean the throttle body with throttle body cleaner.

4. Check the idle control valve: The idle control valve regulates the idle speed when the AC is on. If it is
malfunctioning, it can cause the idle to drop. Check the idle control valve and replace it if necessary.

5. Check the AC compressor: If the AC compressor is malfunctioning, it can cause the engine to struggle
when the AC is on. Check the AC compressor and replace it if necessary.

6. Check for vacuum leaks: A vacuum leak can cause the engine to struggle at idle, especially when the
AC is on. Check for vacuum leaks and repair them if necessary.

If you are not comfortable with these steps, it's best to take your vehicle to a qualified mechanic for
diagnosis and repair.
