mine does the same thing your're describing when the A/C is on. IF I drop the car into neutral and roll to a stop no sputter. If Im in traffic, or stop sign stop and go RPM's drop like car is going to stall and it catches itself again. This only occurs when A/C is on. My best guess is becuase underdrive pully is so light running accesories takes toll on engine.
