Boost control solenoid

So I changed my fuel pressure regulator this morning and ran the engine for about five minutes. I then performed one more check for loose connection, wires, etc before closing the hood. It was then that I noticed that the boost control solenoid was pretty hot for just running for 5 min. The valve covers weren't even hot, nor the supercharger, or anything close by. What does this mean?

Re: Boost control solenoid

It is not abnormal for the boost solenoid to feel hot to the touch.

Re: Boost control solenoid

OK good to know. I was afraid that my vac system was to blame. I put a ported SC from a 98+ on my 97GTP. I had to alter the vac assembly slightly. I just modded the setup to reflect a 99+ gtp.
