Default weather too hot, car stalls everytime i stop...please help!

I haven't been turboed for long, about 1200 miles, and i've had starting, idle, and stalling problems before, but today was just ridiculous. When i installed turbo around a month ago, the weather has been cool, around 80 degrees or less. I have had some idle problems, and my car did stall on me during the day time around 12pm-5pm. during the nite...when the air was cool, the car would never stall on me, but idle issues were still there.

however, today hit 90 degrees outside, very humid, and very hot. my car would not stop dying on me! every stop sign, or every light...the car would just coast and shut off on me! i finally gave up and parked it and took the bus to work.


my set up is stock b16, 450cc dsm injectors, radio shack resistors, running on Crome.

cinq who chipped my ecu and ran the crome program has done many cars, so i trust that the setting he put on should be able to run fine until i finally get it fine tuned.

do u think that my injectors could be causing this? i didn't solder the resistors to the wires, but they are snuggly wrapped on and taped. should i just ditch the radio shack resistors and find an old civic and use their resistors instead? anyone else have this problem w/ heat and car shutting off? please help.

My car stalled on me dfay or night...hot or cold. LOL. It was all timing. After I adjusted it, my **** ran beautifully. I was running the hack with 450's and a Honda resistor box

dont know who he is but, its simple. when the car heats up, it usually requires less fuel, if crome has no way of a correction table, it will run like ***.

better chances are, u can fix it within the fuel map. ie. if the car idles lower when its hot, it could be in a different portion and he may have not tuned that cell correctly.
