88 Turbo stalls when hot outside???

I've got an 88 Turbo, and generally the idle bounces around a bit, but never stalls. Recently, when the temperature outside goes over 80, the car stalls everytime I stop. If anyone knows what this might be, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks...

For starters ya gotta check your compression....sorry but you have to rule that out. The bouncing idle is common symptom to a bad motor...It could also be a bad AFM, TPS out of wack, bad water sensor and or air temp sensor.....Put a scan tool and try to pull codes off the ECU....These steps should get you started
