does it stall when you are moving on road or when u come to stop at a light or sign?

Sounds like a compressor problem. If the compressor or clutch gets hot and locks up the engine stalls, and won't start.

whens the last time you cleaned your throttle body.

got this from online:

The compressor has a big bearing that the pulley just spins on so it's pretty much a freewheel, very little drag. However, when you engage the AC the clutch engages the compressor shaft, which is supposed to start the compressor spinning. If the compressor has seized however (think of an engine that seizes, it can't be turned, right?), it's just like something very strong "grabbing" the fan belt, and that could account for the awful noise and the lug on the engine that caused it to stall.

I had the same problem before 2 years ago, it led to a dirty throttle body. Then found out the dirt made it in the IAC, causing it to malfunction, then somehow my EGR solenoid mafunctioned as well.

You're right, it is the wierdest problem...
