Default WON'T IDLE when its HOT out

MY '92 coupe wont hold an idle when it starts and the temp gets up over 100 outside. I can hold the throtle and keep it going and as soon as I start driving its fine. Also the A/C sometimes doesnt even come on in the same conditions. Push the button and no air? Drive about 1 mile and poof it works. I cant find any Grimlens under the hood, So what is the problem? Anyone else seen this?

I also noticed my car wouldn't idle when its humid, hot and rainy outside. I followed 65Z01's advice on his website on what to do to adjust/reset the IAC motor and TPS. Ever since then I did this, there was no more stalling out in any weather conditions. Also, having your A/C off can help it idle after start up. When the car is already running, turn you A/C back on and you're all set.
