Hot Weather Problem

My 88 RX7 runs fine during normal weather condiions, although idle is a little rough.

When is get's hot, above 90F, then the idle is extremley rough, car stalls and has little or no power. A/C makes it a little worse, but not significant.

There may already be a thread on this problem, but I cannot find any.

HELP!!!

i always run my rx7 and its always over 100 here with out problem, doesnt even over heat at all. i have 180,000 miles on my 87 na. yeah i am a trooper. i love her enough to drive her even with out ac and in very hot temps.

it might be your cold start.
it might be your tps. take a multimeter stick black end in black wire clip B . stick red wire in green clip C

A B
C

when idleing fully warm tune to .80 volts
drive it. retest it. tune it again
thats all i have to say about that.

Thanks for the replys. I looked at the suggested archive. I think I need a mechanic to help me. Does anyone know of a RX7 mechanic in the NYC Metro area?
