My Camaro SS is stalling when I use the AC

My 2000 Camaro SS stales when I have the AC on and I come to a stop its a manual trany,I used my scanner no codes are showing up I just cant put my finger on it.I don't know if its the idle control value is the culprit I am at a loss.One person tells me its the fuel regulator and another telling me it could be the knock sensor. Has any one else has had this type of problem ?????

You can pull your Iac motor off and clean it to see if that cures your problem.
Use brake cleaner to clean it.

I would use b12 if it doesn't fix it buy a new iat sensor. I had the same problem.

I change out the ats had a extra laying around and took out the idle control valve and cleaned it off with some fine sandpaper and break cleaner. On the drive to work it ran better at idle but it staled once when I turned the AC on again. Then it stooped doing it was running fine. Its vary Sporadic it will run fine sum time then stall when I come to a stop lets see.

Possibly loose alternator or battery cables

Has it been tuned? There are idle speed settings for A/C on vs. off, generally 50 rpms higher with A/C on.

I just bought the car a month ago some els did a lot of work on the car how well it was done is any ones guess. I can tell it has been programed I swapped out the computer with a stock one and it would not even idle. So I assume they played with the idle speed settings if it is rite or wrong ???? The car has a heavy cam some time it just does not like to idle rite. But my other car with the LS1 has a larger cam and it runs like a champ just wants to run never stalls .On the way home from work it started stalling with the AC off and every time I would come to a sudden stop when the car is in neutral.????? I hate when people do half ass work on a car.
