Talking Re: Stalls at idle ONLY when outside temperature gets HOT??

Hey Mate, let me see...there was guy who's car acted up with chick's in the car. So if you and him could get HOT Chicks and the car runs bad...Who cares !!!! Park your car, take your chopper, the Hot Chick and ride, baby, ride......

Donk told me to shut up! and get serious...OK....

I assume NO DTC's..... I know the ECT sensor, provides feedback to the ECU to compensate for cold/hot engine conditions.

Circuit Description

The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor uses a thermistor in order to control the signal voltage to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM supplies a voltage on the signal circuit to the sensor. When the engine is cold, the sensor resistance is high, therefore, the ECT signal voltage will be high.
As the engine warms, the sensor resistance becomes less and the voltage drops. At the normal engine operating temperature, the voltage will be between 1.5 and 2.0 volts at the ECT signal terminal.
The ECT sensor controls the following items:
The fuel delivery
The torque converter clutch (TCC)
The ignition control (IC)
The evaporative emission (EVAP) canister purge valve
The idle air control (IAC) valve
The electric cooling fan

Cheers Mate....but I still would take the HOT Chicks on my chopperk, over the car !!!
JzJzz and the Man from Down Under...
