1999 Honda CRV 4 cyc 121K miles - When the engine is running and I am idling at a light, the engine idle surges, recedes, surges, recedes at about the same regular pace as a heartbeat. It ONLY does this when the A/C is on. As soon as the A/C is turned off, the car idles normally. It doesn't matter whether the car is in drive or in park-same problem. Thanks for any help!

Has anyone touched the charge of refrigerant on this? Too much and it wouldn't take much with a low capacity system to overwork compressor and engine is fumbling to find a correct idle to compensate the load which would vary up to near stalling an engine or screech a belt.
Could be a sign of compressor just plain working to hard and on its way out too. Guesses as it could also be unrelated and the request for A/C is possibly sending wrong info for normal expected load and turn on fan(s) which is also a load on alternator,
