New guy here! Need help with my 82 SC

Greeting everyone, I've been looking around here for a while, but have never posted. I picked up a 1982 911 SC yesterday in Virginia, looks great, seems to run pretty well. The first thing I want to get sorted(first of many I'm sure) is the idle. Once you start her up in the morning the idle will raise to about 1500rpm, ill let her sit for 5 minutes or so, then off to work I go. From that point on any time I come to a stop or push in the clutch, she wants to idle up near 2700rpm! Just a little high for my standards. Anyway if you shut the car off, then immeadiately turn it back on, there is no difference, still 2800 rpm. Now once I get to the office, I can let her sit for say 15 minutes, go back up and start her up and she idles perfect @ 950 rpm? Its weird? Doesnt matter if I drive her 5 minutes or 30 minutes on the initial drive the idle is always 2800rpm, but once she sits without running for 15 minutes shes fine. I have taken the oil cap off once she idles down and the motor does stumple, so does this mean vac lines are good. Also I have heard some mention of Warm up regulators?

The only mod that I know of is an H&K muffler? Here is a pic, and thanks for the help!!
