A/C Question

I thought I would ask you folks for some advice before I bring my vehicle to the dealer for service.I have an 01 Sport.I'm having one of those annoying intermittent problems.My A/C works fine 90% of the time but then I stop at a traffic light, or for traffic, and I get a rough idle and my A/C keeps clicking on and off and I loose my cold air.I begin driving again and all is well.The problem may not appear again for a couple of days.I am bringing it in for service but I wanted to get some opinions on this problem so I don't get screwed at the dealership.Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Possibly a vacuum leak. It could describe the rough idle and the loss of cold air. Most car HVAC control systems are designed to fail safe to heat and defrost.
