2015 Jeep JK seems to cycle when idling
I could use some help understanding this. My 2015 Jeep Wrangler Sport has a strange idle rythm most of the time. It seems to feel like the engine works a bit every 10 ro 20 seconds or so. The RPMs actually do not drop but the LOAD % gauge does show a pick up. (the load gauge is off of the ODB2 plug which is run to my Pioneer HU). I did just install an amp, speakers and HU but I am not sure if this was an issue before the install or not....the Jeep is relatively new to me.
Could where I chose my ground (factory ground on the passenger side of the console)? It did have another small wire on it.
Anyway, I couldn't find a direct thread that dealt with this so I thought I would ask if anyone has seen this issue before.

The Ac compressor will cycle on and off while the vehicle is running no matter what. From what im told it is to keep compressor oil and such moving through the AC system and to keep to keep it from just building up in the compressor.
