no, but I would bet it's related to the idle speed motor...

very common on the mitsubishis (changing idle randomly), the idle motor closes the air passage around the throttle body when the a/c is turned off in anticipation of the engine not needing as much air to stay idling... if the motor is going bad, instead of closing almost all the way to still let some air by, it slams shut, thus killing the car...

just one theory...
