Default Alfa 146 rough idle

My 1999 model Alfa 146 has irregular idling when hot. No problems starting,
no problems while warming up. When it gets very hot (in traffic, on hot
days especially) it starts to run unevenly at idle. It gets worse if extra
load is put on the engine - eg heated rear window switched on. The dealer
can't say what's wrong. They changed the CPU (main computer chip), it
didn't help. I've been told it could be the lamda sensor, or the idle
valve - anyone out there got any suggestions?
