Irregular idle every 15 seconds or so

So was out cleaning up the interior and had the engine idling.  About every 15 seconds the idle would slow a bit with the lower idle shudder, and then recover to normal.  Like is would slow 75 rpm and then recover.

Any ideas?  Haven't checked for a code yet and now light on the dash.

Car runs fine otherwise.

Did you have AC or defroster on? (The default startup climate settings used to put the defroster on at start. And the defroster is meant to act as a dehumidifier to "dry" condensation on the inside of the windshield as well as melt ice on the outside.) The defroster controls won't show you the AC is on. And the compressor cycles on and off quite often. At idle, that's usually enough of a load to make the engine labour a bit until the throttle catches up to the load.
