Hello. It seems either the torque converter; if your vehicle has an automatic transmission or clutch; if your vehicle has a manual transmission are defective/malfunctioning. Torque converters and/clutches will cause 'jerking' while driving and 'stalling' the engine when slowing/stopping the vehicle because they won't engage/disengage like they are supposed to. Good luck and keep me informed; if you want to.
YOU might find its due to the Auto Matic gear box as when you slow down at the lights or brake hard to stop the auto box should brake free at about 600rpm as to allow the car to stop but the engine to keep idling,but the drive bands in the gearbox and the pump which operate them are not braking free so its like, in a Manual g/box driving and stopping but leaving the clutch pedal and not pushing it in so the car stalls,
SO you may find that the next time you are driving it and come to the lights just try putting it in NEUTRAL gear before you stop and try, if it ok then get the g/box serviced . RON
could be your clutch is not fully disengauging or on its last leggs check if you can ajust the freeplay at the clutch cylinder thats if your car is a manual
Look at your RPM gauge, before and after, putting on the A/C. Does the RPM drop with the A/C on? May need to adust the idling or check the throttle sensor
