Stalled again

dear guys,
ever happened to you when you turned your car on, then turned the AC on, and then your car stalled???? when my car is on the engine is loud, but for some reason when i turn the ac on before i move the car, it gets quiete and stalls after 5 secs. is it the battery? the crappy k&n filter? the MAF sensor which is hanging at the engine bay? any help? i appreciate it..

I have the same problem. It only occurs when i have the A/C on. So to resolve it, i just turn the A/C off. My MAF sensor was hanging before i got my CAI now its in the hole in the MAF made for it. Consider changing your fuel filter.

Seeing as though the engine is cold, by turning on your A/C it puts more strain on the engine so it shuts off.

well don't rule out a possibly sticking idle air control valve not compensating for the increase in load......
