my imrc was acting up so bad i removed the whole cover and it didnt work i i relocated it to the rear of the battery rack. i had all the same problems. it would get so hot that i couldnt even touch it. now that i put it to the rear of the battery rack it never turns off on me and the power delivery feels way smoother liek the car was new. all it took was one .25 inch screw and i didnt even have to drill, plus 2 washers and a nut and thats it. it wont take but a few minutes and its well worth it. my imrc became to unpredictable and sucked when i was on the highway, or just trying to accelerate period. the heat from the valve cover is just too much. the hole i used on the battery rack is for the battry tie down rod on the rear side. you also have to move the battery cables so it will fit there. i have a pic on my car domain link below its all the way at the bottom of the page. i think this is the best solution to the problem. and it wont even cost a dollar. its just one screw holding it in place but it is held on real tigth due to the bronze looking piece. and when you do it unplug the eletrical wire plug than route and than bolt it down tigth with the nut. the wiriing harness will have to be on when you mount the imrc or you wont be able to put it on.
