Brief hesitation while driving with a/c on.

First time using the AC since last year and today i noticed intermittent hesitation while driving, at first i thought it was wind gusts, but after turning the AC off and on a few times I narrowed it down to being related to the AC being on. It would happen maybe every 30 seconds, not drastic like taking my foot off the gas, but more like what i thought it was, a brisk gust of headwind.

Didn't really affect drivability, just annoying as something is clearly not quite right.

Any ideas fellas?

 

Your compressor can cycle every 30 seconds or so. I don't notice any hesitation when mine cycles but maybe there is an issue with your AC clutch binding that causes the engine to bog down slightly.

May want to Inspect the serpentine belt as well

Just spitballing. .
