2000 Grand Am 4-Cyl shuts off when A/C turned off

Hello,

I’m having a very strange issue with my 2000 Grand Am 2.4 L 4-Cyl (88,000 miles). Whenever I turn off my A/C the engine begins to idle out and sometimes it just turns off. I don’t think it’s related to the A/C directly because it also happens when the headlights turn on. The scenario with the headlights is that I’ll come home from work and put the car in the garage, the light sensors will cause the headlights to turn on (no light in garage) and when they do the engine stutters and the rpms drop below 500 like it wants to shut off. It happens when the engine is warm and it’s very consistent. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
David
