The electronic throttle actuator (throttle body) can fail causing a loss of power ... start it studders like it is running on 2 cyl. then switches to 3 cyl. then to 4. but ... Throttle body replaced on my 2006 Nissan Sentra 1.8 engine. ... I Was going up a hill and I tried to speed up, all of a sudden my car bogs down and completely dies.
I am going to assume the check engine light is not on. I would check the throttle body to see if it needs to be cleaned, and check the idle air control valve to see if it is working. The computer controls idle speed by the amount of air coming into the throttle body. The ac problem is probably something different such as low freon or a cooling fan problem.
If your car is fuel injected, the electronic throttle position sensor on the throttle body could be bad. The check engine light doesn't always come on, in this situation.
Sounds like you may have a bad motor mount. While driving and under a torque situation you wont notice it as much,but at idle you will as it has extra room to move.
try checking the throttle body and look for lose hoses anywhere near it it might be a lose EGR valve anywhere near the throttle body. when disconnected or gunky or just plain out broken EGR's will cause the car to have a very rough idle.
I suspect your idle is not increasing as it should when the compressor engages.
You have an idle air control valve on the throttle body. The PCM, engine computer, controls it. When the PCM gets a signal from the /ac clutch engaging, it will increase the idle to compensate for the load of the a/c compressor.
You may have a wiring issue to the PCM that it is not receiving the signal on a/c clutch clicking on and off.
you could try disconnectint rthe battery for 2 hours and then reconnect and drive for 10 miles for the ocmputer to relearn it's stored memory. Try that first.
It sounds like your IAC (idle air control valve) is going bad. The IAC, as it sounds, controls the idle of the vehicle and when they go out, the car will have a hard time idling and will often stall out. The IAC is located on the throttle body and is normally held on by a couple of screws. It's an easy and relatively cheap fix that you can do by yourself. Let me know if you have further questions.

Have you checked all the vacuum pipes around the top of the engine.? It`s not losing oil pressure, it`s just about to stall when the oil light comes on. Listen for a hissing noise under the hood. Vacuum leaks can cause real problems with the inlet manifold pressures. Good luck.
