Default 2000 Dodge Stratus won't idle when hot (SOLVED)

The car idles good when cold, but when the engine heats up, it will not idle. We already replaced parts that were going bad, such as the water pump and the timing belt. It'll run when cold, but will not idle when hot, stalling when you take your foot off the accelerator.

Specs:

2000 Dodge Stratus SE
2.4L I4 DOHC
Automatic

Edit: Turns out it was just a little bit out of timing, the car is working perfectly now.
