I was able to replicate this a few times. It is almost as if the extra load of the A/C wasn't being compensated for and the engine revs dropped below about 500rpm for an instant. I only happened though with a firm stop but not a gentle one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had this problem last night. I started the car up and was warming it up for about 20 seconds and then went to put it into drive and as it went into neutral the revs came up to about 1200rpm and when it went into drive they went right down to about 500rpm and then the car started running real roughly, like on about 4 cylinders. There was a orange/yellow light up on the dash on the RHS second from the bottom. Dunno what this is. I turned the car off and restarted and drove away like nothing had happened.
