Car stalls in the heat when coming to a stop
My car seems to be stalling several times a day when coming to a stop. It's typically under hot circumstances so I'm thinking perhaps my IAT is getting heatsoaked? It's located on the intake throttle body and I'm not intercooled yet. Hot highways and slow speeds are especially deadly.
I found this thread in a search:

Is that what I want to be doing? It's not a big issue when it's once every couple of weeks but it's getting ridiculous now. AC doesn't even stand a chance!
I've attached my msq and a recent datalog of the problem. Albeit the datalog isn't as good as I had hoped because it wasn't as hot yesterday but I managed to provoke the problem once I turned the AC on.
Thanks.

Nope, I'll enable it then. Are the settings already in there ok? I didn't want to enable it and have it running on anything that could potentially mess it up even more.
This post from that thread up top confuses me:

These attached settings good?

The MSPNP config? Odd, this is a MSPnP for a 96. Reading up in the help section it talks about only doing this if your car is tuned, which makes me think, what's the actual problem with the "Normal Correction" setting?

Ok, I upped the timing there and then spent some time tuning the fuel for idle and it seems to be better. I didn't get to drive it properly after I got it tuned in as I noticed an unpleasant noise coming from my supercharger... bollocks
