Warm PCM relay on wife's vehicle
My wife's <cough>mountaineer<cough> has one hell of a miss. Idles rough and struggles under load.
I smell hot electronics after driving the vehicle for a mile or so and seem to have traced it to the power distribution box under the hood. There's a PCM (powertrain control module) relay that's warm when I touch the top of it. Is this a sign of it going bad? The fuel pump relay is right next to it and isn't warm, nor are any the others in the box.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
