I had a similar problem last year with my 88 Camaro 2.8L. The rough idle and stalling always happened when then engine temperature was at least 150-160, and this always happened at stoplights and stop signs. The shop cleaned the throttle body and adjusted the TPS (throttle position sensor). This solved the problem. I also had the distibutor cap, rotor, and wires done about a week later, but just for maintenace reasons.
