Default Car stalls during idle. Help!

Not sure if my problem is turbo related but it is boosted so thought I'd try this thread also:

Ok guys I need some help. My car randomly dies on me if I am not on the throttle, especially when the weather is very warm. And when it dies it just shuts off like you turned the key, there is no bogging or anything. Then it starts right up but with a little hesitation. Again this happens mostly with warm weather.

I've tried replacing the ignition switch but no luck. I'm guessing it may be the dizzy? Any help is appreciated. Please help, it is annoying as ****!

Could be something like the ECT or IAT compensation. Maybe it's a little too lean to stay running as it gets heatsoaked. If it's not a tuning issue you might want to look at the main relay. That turns on the the ECU and is known to be finicky at extreme temperatures. Also check idle speed, clean the throttle body and check that the throttle isn't fully closed. It should idle low with the IACV unplugged. Annnnd check base timing with the jumper jumped.

I've tried replacing the main relay, no luck. I will check the idle speed. I will be getting a retune sometime soon hopefully. Thanks.
