Check your plugs. I changed mine out after my car started stalling and stumbling. It is all better now. I actually swapped the MAP sensor as well with little improvement. The plugs did the trick for me.

I get that stalling sensation sometimes in hot weather. It seems like the ECU does some funny stuff during stop and go traffic.

I noticed that my IAT sensor tops out at around 153degF.

IAT is Intake Air Temperature.

IMO, it would probably would happen less, though it does not affect IAT at a stoplight as much as you think.

Normally your manifold pressure is something like -500 to -600 mmHg at a stoplight, and with idle throttle position near 5%, there's basically no airflow to cool down the IAT and it rises very quickly.

My guess is that something like the Hondata insulating gasket would do more to alleviate high IAT stumbling. Seems almost like a design flaw on Honda's part.
