Hard to give advice without tasting it, but if you start with a badly fermented beer (tastes bad), bugs wont make it better. High temps aren't a bad thing depending on the strain of Belgian yeast used also. How do you know its infected?

Taking a bad batch of beer and trying to sour it results in a sour bad batch of beer.

What yeast? Some yeast can look like an infection. Taste it first.
