When the AC is on, the ECU increases air supply to keep the idle revs up. Chances are your idle air control valve is not providing enough air when AC is off. If that's the case, a new IAC Valve would fix it.

Otherwise, there are some clues on Page F2-33 of the online manual.
Re-shaped and re-sized gearshift lever. Best driveability mod you can do!
Extra thick soundproofing in the boot (trunk) to quieten my stainless steel exhaust system :)

The easiest thing would be to disconnect the battery, reseting the ECU, reconnect the battery after ten minutes and start the car. Do this when the motor is cold and the ac button off.
Let the car idle only until it warms up befor driving it or turning the ac on. Also make sure all the accesories are off before starting.
If this does not cure the idle problem then you can move on to mechanical possabilities.
