Some like it hot? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

I've had my '91 for several years and driving in all kinds of Texas weather.

Today I popped the hood after work and driving home on a low 90 degree day. I put my hand on the ECM and just noted it it was hot- I never noticed it as being "hot" before. It was similar in temperature like the brake booster.

Now, I know that the ECM is under the hood and with headers, my under hood temp is "healthy."

Is there a concern that too much heat will cause my ECM to fail? Is this a issue and if so, what can I do to keep the ECM cooler?
