Default Car troubles in hot weather...PLS HELP!

alright guys my car runs like **** when its hot out .....i live in canada and lately our nights have been cold and our afternoon/evenings have been really warm/hot....my car starts up drives fine and really smooth at night...but in the afternoon it drives like **** rides really rough and low idle....new fuel filter, fresh oil change, oil filter, replaced coolant, topped off fluids, didnt replace plugs yet tho..., and also new dizzy..cleaned out IACV, adjusted idle to 750-800, and it ran good for awhile really smooth idle wasnt jumping. now that its getting hotter everyday my car is running like complete **** even after all the maintenance, it shifts smooth and doesnt grind, but it drives rough and seems like its having a hard time running when its hot out..NO CEL..when im braking towards a stop light it shakes and it idles down to almost 0 and then goes back up but it never dies....but when its night and its cold out it drives perfectly fine....help me out guys, thanks.

Try bleeding the cooling system of possible trapped air as described in the service manual.

You also might want to check the plugs and wires and to check whether the ignition timing is set to spec.

alright guys, i noticed that my water coolant housing cover was cracked so i replaced it today, bled the coolant, refilled, bled again, refilled, checked timing, adjusted idle [manual procedure], and now it runs pretty good, im going to bleed the coolant some more again to make sure there isnt any trapped air, also getting new spark plugs tomorrow, but theres one thing since i adjusted the idle screw alot to let more air in it seems like my intake is sucking alot of air in and i hear loud hissing is that normal? my idle is perfect now and everything....

Hissing from the intake is normal if you don't have one of the lines in or if you have the intake tube off.
