Idle issue

I have a 92 Z w/ 5.7L engine. Car runs pretty well. No major issues. Spark plug wires get burnt up a bit sometimes and every 6 months or so I have a module go out.

Last few days car has idled poorly after cruising in the car. I start it up and it's around 12.5. As I drive down the road and come to a light it drops to about 8 and shudders a tad. After I turn the car off for a few mins and hop back in, the idle is fine. Only issue is after driving for a few minutes and then idling.

I just changed out 6 of 9 of the spark plug wires. 2 were cracked. The other 3 look fine. Plus, I can't get to them. Any idea what else the issue could be? The check engine light comes on sometimes while cruising, but will go off after awhile.
