So anyone that knows my jeep knows that my hood is pretty religious,
That being said, I have been having idle issues lately, and stumbling under light acceleration (the odd time I don't have the pedal to the floor to hear the exhaust whistle) so in have been thinking IAC and tonight I decided to have a look at it.
First thing I noticed was I could not even touch my fuel rail after mort sat for 15 mins with all three fans on to cool him down. Pulled the IAC and it was clean but a light tug on it and it came right apart.
So... Apparently my under hood temps are still pretty high, I have a stainless borla header, with the late model intake (also way too hot to touch) gauges say I'm running around 100f.
I don't want to wrap the header because I have heard that doing a water crossing the wrap can hold water and crack the header. Is this true or not?
Is it possible to wrap the fuel rail? Would this be a problem in winter?
Is there some spray on insulation you could get for the intake?
Is a custom heat shield in my future?
Any advice???
