Stalling when engine hot!

My '88 RX7 is not idling properly when the engine is hot. When I just start it it's fine but after I drive it a while it tends to stall. Are there any suggestions as to why this is happening?
Thanks.

I am having kinda the same problem. I was told the BAC valve might be bad, but not sure if there is a way to fix it or if you should just replace it

You have to be more precise about when it stalls.

Does it stall when you hit the brakes ?
Does it stall when you turn on something electrical ?
Does it stall with no electrical on ?

Idle problems can generally be related to bad bac, bad ecu to bac connection, bad charging system, bad grounds, vacuum leaks, and poor compression.

You can have a look at my web page (in sig) under 'my own faq' 'idle'
