Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! The intake air control valve (IAC) on your 1997 Dodge Stratus is located on the throttle body, which is right at the junction where air enters the engine. It helps control your engine’s idle speed, so if it’s dirty or faulty, it could explain the rough idle when the AC is on. The extra load from the AC might be too much for a malfunctioning IAC to handle. I'd recommend checking or cleaning the IAC valve to see if that helps smooth things out.
