    We had that problem a while back, and we eventually got it pretty well sussed.
    This thread may be of some use to you:

    Bus is overheating.

    But...we finally got to the bottom of the problem with help from a fella many many years younger than I...It's a Chev 400 Vortec LS3 donkey, which was purchased as a crate motor, but had an LS1 card in it.
    So the computer was programmed to be sending the wrong messages out to the various components.
    To suss that is well out of my tiny knowledge of electronics.

    Good luck!
