Definitely check for recalls. I had an idle problem on an 86 Olds Calais that was so bad I had to brake-torque to keep from stalling in any kind of bad traffic. After I owned the car for about 7yrs (and after about 6 useless trips to the dealer who 'couldn't get it to fail'), they FINALLY issued a recall. I do not remember the part and am not even sure I bothered to take it in at that point since I sold it shortly after but with your auto being 1998, if there was one issued, you should be able to find it. Just do a search.

What causes car to stall when it gets hot?
A car engine is made with many moving parts that fit together very precisely. When these parts get hot, they expand, but they do not all expand to exactly the same degree. So parts which fit in a certain temperature range, will cease to fit in a higher temperature range. That is why the car will stall if it gets too hot. If the radiator is working correctly, the engine will never get too hot.
