305 TPI won't run if it's a hot day.

Here's the problem. My car runs great if the temp outside is -40 to 85 degrees. If its any warmer and I do a lot of driving in stop and go traffic it starts to run terrible. It doesn't want to idle and is especially bad if i'm driving about 30 mph and slow down to turn a corner, it will actually stall midway through a turn. It acts like its flooded.Even if I turn it off and restart it, it still acts like its flooded. ANY IDEAS

Oh yeah, 1986 Iroc 305 TPI LB9
Forged Speed Pro pistons
Accel HEI distributer
Cam and crank from 1996 Vette

My car had this problem last summer and I couldn't figure it out either. I finally linked it to the MAF sensor. But instead of buying the whole part, I just replaced the power and burnoff relays for it. The car immediately started, idled, and ran better than ever before. Good Luck!

88 Iroc, 305 TPI, Hypertech chip, K&N's, Airfoil, Flowmaster American Thunder, High-Flow cat, 160 therm. Bosch Platinum +4's, American Racing Rims, air baffles removed, removed screens from MAF sensor, more mods soon.
