The car shimmies or lurches forward when stopped - only happens with the AC is running (live in FL - need ac running) as soon as I turn AC off the car runs fine again, same if I put the car in nuetral. While the problem is happening the PM moves up and down a bit

Hi there,

Have the base idle and idle control checked, as if this is to low the extras load on the engine with the A/C on will cause a stall and rough lumpy idle condition, start here.
