Auto or manual? Either way, you can shut it off in gear.
Some configurations used an idle stop solenoid, which is energized with the ignition on and is used to set idle speed; when ignition is off, the plunger retracts and the throttle blades close completely, stopping the engine.
Heat, fuel volatility can cause seasonal issues. If it continues, you'll want to find the cause. Any spark plug or carburetor changes or timing changes lately?
Car is an auto, no changes have been made to the engine. I am working on burning the fuel out of it so I can fill up with fresh gas. The fuel in it is 8 months old. I have a new temp gauge and it only warms up to 190. I've only been driving it late in the day when it's cool.

I have my tach disconnected, but I will reconnect it. It seems to be about normal though.
