Hot engine temps messing with the BAC/idle. also asian bruce willis
Have a quick question. so due to my car being fairly low, the heat-wrapping from the header(custom sdj header) has been torn and is falling apart (kinda looks like cartoonish-mummy wrapping now) and is getting quite hot(obviously)
here is the question, and my reasoning behind it. would the high header temps mess with the BAC/idle? i notice when on a short drive(fully reaching operating temps) my idle does not stray from 700-800(monster streetport) but after a longer highway drive(around 20 miles) it will kind of wiggle? or flutter a little bit, and settle around 150 lower and not really hold a super steady idle. anywhere from 650-700
also, please enjoy this japanese bruce willis, as my thanks for any input.

It's possible that your short drives are really not warming up the engine as fully as it can be warmed and that the 20 mile drive on the highway achieves a fully warmed engine. So, you need to adjust the TPS and idle after these 20 mile drives and not before so. And the tach is not the most easy gauge to read as its needle is as least 100 rpm wide so there's an element of variance there.
