they are normally hotter than the rest of the solenoids. This one was 103 degrees with he rest of the engine still cold and warming up.



How much hotter? -- not sure, but it is normal for them to be hoter than the rest to some extent.

My shutoff solenoid put my truck on the side of the road with no warning when it went bad. I had to remove its guts and tape the wire off so it would get fuel. That got me off the side of the road.

I ran it like that for a few days, and since it ran just fine like that, I decided not to replace it, but to suppress the code for it being disconnected in the ECM instead. - That was more than 4 months ago.

Thanks for your advice Rawze! Mine is so hot that ill get a burn if i touch it too long.. the rest are luke warm. What do you mean you took its guts out and taped the wire? Is the fuel valve than always open? I never tought of that haha
