Is this normal?

[gtsfirefighter]

After driving the car hard for a short while, maybe 10 minutes, I reached to unplug the EFI fuse to clear the code 14. Well I touched one of the relays and it damn near burned me it was so hot. I then touched the ignitor and noticed it was extremely hot also. Now I've never noticed this before and was wondering if it was normal for these to get so hot.
A pic of me pointing to which relay was hot.
Just prior to driving it I was messing with the cps wires and fixed my dying issue.

I remember the same EFI relay getting pretty damn hot in my MR2 also, it must be normal.

Electronics get hot while being used. I don't see why these would be any different.

Yea, that little bastard always gets hot, I guess you just didn't notice it.

That would be what kept my car from starting for so long.

Ken, I'm pretty sure all of these guys above my post are complete idiots. I also think your car is going to blow up real soon. Therefore I'm willing to take it off your hands for seven hundred dollars. What is your paypal address?


SC, please don't ban me, JJ please don't fly over and blow my house up. Scott and Quin, you don't have a plane, and you can't ban me.

And running quite well! ::knocks on wood::

I got up early this morning to check responses because I wanted to drive it to work (50 miles). If the car is going to catch on fire, I want it to be from me throwing gas on it and not some stupid electrical short!

Made it to work just fine.

Oh, but I know where you live, AND I know when Ricky and Bobby (used Bama names cause I'm not sure, I think one IS Ricky) go on vacation.

Running a good ground to the ignitor is not a bad idea either

I'm at work today and because our IT Dept blocks so much I can't view that entire thread so I'll check it out tomorrow at home.

I will say, after reading some peoples comment on how much smoother their car idles after grounding, I don't know if my car can idle any smoother. The engine does not have one single miss and it's hard to feel it even running. I'm enjoying this while it lasts.:biglaugh:

Thanks Jdub for that link! I will definitely now be adding grounds to my igniter, coil pack, and oxygen sensor. All looked to be very simple, and I do have an annoying erratic miss at idle. It's not that bad, but definitely there. Matbe these grounds can help.
