A/C or Engine problem?

alright so when i start the car up and then turn on the a/c it seems like the car has a little struggle to keep going for a few seconds. for example the RPMs drop and rise and do that for a little bit.

any help?

IAC...

Some have cleaned it and claimed success--for a while. Ford says it cannot be cleaned and should be replaced, $60 at your FLAPS...

if you are cruising with the a/c on does the car start to chug and surge?

thats what mine did and i had to replace the MAF module i believe. it kept telling the computer i was at WOT and then not, and it would turn the compressor on and off. i used too much oil on my k&n and it ruined it.
