Default Exhaust primary tube temps.

Here latley I have developed a idle stumble and have been trying to find the problem. Today I checked the temps of the header tube temps at the flange area just before the bend and all but one was around 220 degrees. The #2 cylinder was at 346 degrees. Could this cylinder be running to lean causing the idle stumble/miss? Im kinda thing this could be the problem.

Yes, lean conditions will not allow unspent fuel to carry the heat produced out of the cylinder. The result in higher exhaust/header temperatures. You may want to verify that the #2 fuel injector is operating correctly since this seems to be an isolated case. Simply running some fuel injector cleaner with your next tank of gas may help solve your problem.
