Default My car falls asleep?

So hey I'll be driving along and stop at a red light. Then sometimes, mostly when its hot hot hot (the weather not my temp gauge) my car will idle low then normal low then normal low and then die... i just replaced my fuel filter and sparks, wires cap and rotor good? could it be battery? the terminals are clean. So yah any help would be good.

Damn, same thing happened to me in my old hatch. And I did also have the iridium spark plugs But I don't think it's that. I do live in Riverside co, it's about 115 degrees on a good summer day My car used to sound like it had a fat *** cam. Is your timing right on? ecu chipped? Tried another IACV?
