Hi again!
You've recently seen my car come back to life in my other post " Volvo 240 bull bars"
While it was at the body shop a little inconvenient that shows up only in the spring and summer manifested itself again:
MY CAR STALLS WHEN IT'S WARM OUTSIDE!

This has been going on for over 2 years now: this is what I tried so far without success:
Cleaned throttle body
changed temperature sensor on the intake manifold
changed idle control valve
and of course wiring, sparkplugs, cap & rotor where replaced too!

Anyone out there has experienced similar issues?
Once again, this occurs only when temperatures exceed 50/60 degrees ( 10/15 celsius). The car will start but will stall almost immediately... unless you keep your foot on the gas! Now that up here temperatures go as low as -22 (-30 for our metric friends) I never had this issue!
Thank you for your help
