I went and picked up my car from Mike D's place today and we noticed that the Mallory CD box was pretty warm after running the car. It wasn't so hot that you couldn't put you hand on it, but it was warm.
Do they normally generate heat? |

Should get pretty warm in the scorching summer.
Why would you want to touch any high-voltage electrical component? Hand-held IR meter works best. I think in the manual they list an operating temp and max before damage is done to the box components inside. |
