The AC compressor has to do work to compress the refrigerant so when it kicks in the load on the engine goes up just like when trying to climb an hill and the ECU needs to open the throttle to keep the engine speed up while the engine is doing work. It uses the ISC to allow more air into the engine rather than moving the throttle plate.

Why is my heater not working at idle?
Coolant systems need to work efficiently or engine failure is a real risk. Low coolant is number one for good reason, it’s the most common root cause of heater problems. Proper coolant fluid level is important, as low coolant creates a void inside the system and the void creates air pockets. More on this later.
