Default Erratic Idle when stopped and AC is on...

I have a 1999 GT and I am having really bad idle surges when the AC is on and I come to a complete stop. The idle is fine when I have the AC on and the car is in in traffic...the idle surges from 300rmp to about 1400rmp and does this for the duration of time that I am stopped....sometimes it almost shuts off...

I've cleaned the MAF, clean the air filter (K&N), replaced the IAC valve, the EGR valve, PCV valve and I have a new ECM (about 3 months old). I have had an EVAP test done within the last year or so and no leak (I had the prior to the EVAP test). Do they check for VAC leaks during a EVAP Test??? Am I not checking something??? Could it be low on freon or something.

It only happens when I come to a stop!!! Any advice...Thank

Make shure the A/C is fully charged & not cycling on & off when you are stopped.
