I would check the electric fan on the radiator. They can fail intermittently giving
this symptom (especially the A/C not working), if the A/C works when driving,
but not idling, this is a classic symptom.

SOURCE: 2001 Toyota Sienna AC stops at idle.

Tell Kwik-Kar that they are full of ****. The Sienna A/C is virtually bulletproof, and I have NEVER had to "replace" a system. That being said, I would guess that the freon charge is low. Open the hood, turn on the A/C and look at the sight-glass next to the radiator. Do you see any bubbles? If so, the freon charge is low. Get a qualified A/C tech to hook up same A/C gauges & read the high & low sides of the system, that result will give you the avenue to persue.

SOURCE: 1997 Civic Lx idles rough and low especially with AC on

It's the extra load on your engine when AC compressor kicks on, and it draws engine rpm down. Your fuel injection system has what is called an "idle air control valve", that is supposed to overcome that and adjust idle up & down automatically as needed according to engine load conditions. I'd say it needs replacement, unfortunately it's a little more expensive than most & will run you about $165. Before you do, if you do, make sure all connections & any hoses running to it are in good shape no cracks, on tight & clean, as that can also cause part to malfunction.

Neither. You most likely have a leak in the system and lost some refrigerant. Take it to a shop that is licenced to work on A/C

Check the cooling fan on the radiator. Sounds like it isn't working.

2004 Kia Optima idles rough when AC on; idles fine when AC off -- what is the problem?

Putting on the AC causes power to be taken from the engine, and that is quite usual (unless it's taking excessive power but if there are no noises and it's working ok that's unlikely).
That will slow down the engine (similar to switching on your heated rear window whilst idling)
What you are seeing is the idle is probably a bit slow, and it's too slow with AC on. Have a diagnostic run to check idle speed and mixture at low revs.

Airconditioning works fine while riding, but at stop light the idle drops down and the air blows hot. Does not do it all the time

a selinoid controls idle speed when ac is on or off. check this first. idle should increase when ac is turned on.

Engine speed decrease when stert the AC

IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE IDLE SPEED TOO LOW. IDLE SPEED SHOULD BE 750 - 850 RPM. IDLE SPEED NEED TO BE CORRECT OR IT WILL CAUSE ENGINE RUN ROUGH OR STALL OUT.AC COMPRESSOR WILL TAKE SOME POWER FROM ENGINE WHEN AC IS OPERATING.

Will the radiator assembly stop the AC unit from working properly

It might if the radiator fans do not come on when the AC is engaged. Low speed or idling conditions would have the biggest negative impact on AC performance if the fans are not operating.

Idles low when ac/heat is on and lights dim

fix the idle speed to 850-900 rpm
check the alternator and voltage regulator as the voltage should read 14.5-14.8 volts dc at 1000rpm or higher regardless of what is running
have it bench tested by an accredited auto electrician

Air conditioner only works while moving. The AC stops cooling when stopped and idleing. Anyone know what causes this?

Your freon level is low, and not circulating on slow compressor speeds. Stop by any shop that has a sign stating they work on a/c and they can recharge it for you in a few minutes. Here where I live they charge about $20.00 labor plus a charge for the freon they put in, they sell it by the pound.
