yo,

check the battery head if its tight enough any leaks or cracks there? white residue collecting tends to interrupt the power. Also if the connection is loose or your earth cable is not intact.

If battery is fine then check the alternator?

You are probably having a wiring issue with you FCID valve. It's the small plug (probably purple) on your AAC valve. You can check it's operation by unplugging it and putting voltage from your car battery to it's terminals with your engine off. You should should hear a click sound.
Putting the switch to on possition you could check for resistance between wires using negative ground. One wire is connected to your AC relay and the other travels to ground through your ecu.

Hi kikxz,

Did you manage to find out what the issue was with the rough idling with a/c on? I've just had my condenser fixed due to a puncture, got it back on Thursday but only realised that it's got the same symptoms yours does when i got home. i'm going to give them a call Tuesday to see what they say.
