I presume your car is a V6 or V8?

If so then the down pipes for the exhaust manifolds will be running down each side of the engine..have they got heat shields over the top of them?

If not then thats probably whats causing the problem.

Nope, yours is an inline engine. Only one side might be like this.

WHY DON'T YOU LOOK UNDER THE HOOD AND SEE WHAT'S MAKING IT HOT!!?
