118* heat... = sudden RICH fuel mixture
Its one of these hottest days in Hong Kong now! 35(C) Degrees Celcius, but with 90% humidity = it gets close to 50(C) Degrees Celcius.
Traffic in the tunnels... Water temps gets to about 204 Degrees Fahrenheit (F).
Car was running... than was stumbling abit on the gas peddle. Once out of the tunnel starts getting cool again its was fine again. WHAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THAT?
I've heard, our AFM temp sensor (IAT) failure would have caused this, TRUE?

And my water temps are normally at 210F.
BTW, how do you know you are running rich? Do you have a WB?
Maybe you should be looking at your plug wires, or something else that may be heat related.

So you do have a WB it seems.
Instead of looking at the gauge, try datalogging. That way you can look at the exact scenario as to when it actually occurs. And when you say rich, what's the AFR?
Also, you may want to list exactly what year/engine you have.
