Guys I have intermediate stalling issues with my AC running. What happens is when driving in stop and go traffic after about 15 -20 mins with the AC on the car stalls and I have to let it sit for about 10 mins before it will start again. If I leave the AC off it doesn’t happen. Any Ideas?

what kind of vehicle?

Sounds like it could be a heat-soaked vapor lock as one choice. Particularly when you say it won't crank for 20 minutes. Sounds just like the vapor lock we used to see on mechanical fuel pumps...
