Engine Control relay

[Strad]

Hi Guy's, have a question about the engine control relay, I have a vz with a3.6 alloytec,and while doing some other maintenance I noticed that the engine control relay seems to be hot to the touch, not enough to melt but hot enough that it has slightly turned the relay brown in a tiny spot in the middle top of the relay, can still hold finger on it though is this normal to run hot??

Mine was exactly the same, had that orange-brown "burn" mark. After a while it gave me trouble with starting the car, so I'd recommend swapping it out with the spare if there's one in the spare slot (a few relays across) they also aren't expensive to replace, I got a new one for like $20 from a local spares shop.
