Car wants to stall after running for 20 min or so...

My 94 turbo 'vert has a tendency to stall in humid weather after running for 20-30 minutes. I can restart the car immedately, while rolling, so I have not been stranded yet. There is an associated squeaking noise that appears to come from the pulley wheel that is in the center of the engine block against the fire wall. I have ruled out the distributor and cap as culprits to the occasional stalling because they were replaced last month. All belts were replaced less than 5k ago in May. The timing chain has ~20k on it. The stalling only seems to happen on humid days, which is often here in Virginia. There's something about the heat of the engine (temperature) and moisture (air humidity) that makes a stall more likely. Sometimes the car does not stall completely, but wants to rev hi, which I am able to control by fluttering the accelerator, and taking putting the gear in neutral. That fact makes me think it is a timing chain issue, but I was under the impression that a timing chain can't "slip"--i.e. either it's working or it breaks.
