stalling on restart, only when really hot

This started happening a few months ago when warm weather returned. 96 DI starts, runs, and idles fine in all conditions. EXCEPT when I restart it after it is really hot. Like driving for 30mins or more in hot weather with the AC on. In that case it will stall when I restart it.

If I give it some throttle and keep the revs up for 30 seconds or so then it returns to a normal idle.

Never happens on cold start or even warm start, just when really hot.

Thought it might be a sticking IAC but apparently not, replaced that today and no change.

Any ideas? Did not find anything searching.

I seem to recall hearing that the fuel temperature sensor is the culprit in that case...but that's going from memory. Try a search for that and see if it matches your problem. :)
