Heat in the engine bay or heat in the cabin? Not real sure what your talking about there. I dont feel excessive heat in the cabin so if thats the case take it ford and see what they say.

heat in the engine bay when you open the hood and around the car when it is running. sorry for not clarifying.

They run pretty hot and feeling a lot of heat around the engine bay and car is pretty normal. At least in my experience it is.

And when it's 96 degrees, like it is currently around here, opening the hood of a fully warmed up S197 is like putting your face into a blast furnace.And it ain't no good for power production either. Too bad I used all of my ice to cool the beer!
