Default AC makes car sputter

When I stop at a red light or a stop sign with my AC on my car sputters a little bit. Does anyone know what could cause this? The AC works fine, it just makes my car sputter.

My first thought would be that the idle is set too low. Take it to a mechanic and have him adjust the idle. How long has it been since the spark plugs were replaced?

There's a possibility that the dizzy cap is damaged too, or the coils. A lot of little things can go wrong with the electrical system that only show when the electrics are under load.
