This problem is in most cars, that is when running the AC on a hot day. There is a solenoid, or a solenoid and a valve to adjust the idle when the AC compressor kicks in so the engine will not die.

My suggestion is check the vacuum hoses, as there is most likely one more more that are cracked or loose causing the problem.

How do you fix engine stall problem in 2001 sentra?

my 2001 Sentra would constantly stall when idling. My mechanic had a tough time diagnosing the problem because the "computer" kept giving the wrong codes. He ended up replacing the Mass Air Flow Sensor($250) and Knock sensor($170), and TPS sensor($100). Probably did not need all three replaced, but it runs great now. You could have them check those first.

Please note that there are also several recall campaigns and one is on the crankcase position sensor which can go out and stall your car for good. Good Luck!
