Throttle Body gets really hot

Throttle Body gets really hot
Ok, So I have been working on getting my car to run correctly....2004 RX-8, Base Model
Car will not rev past 2K RPM. I changed the throttle body out with a new one.
I had several engine codes, and i replaced the coils, spark plugs, spark wires, and it took care of most the codes....there is now only one left....P2109.
I realized that when I just put the car key to the "On" position, there is a weird noise, and the throttle body would get really hot.
My assumption is that the throttle body wires are being grounded somewhere, or there is a bare wire that is making contact to the car, or another wire, and causing all the heat on the throttle body....
Any Ideas/Suggestions that I could try?

Sounds like the throttle Position sensor in the throttle body has failed. Do you have an aftermarket intake?
Have you verified the TB operation? As in pull the intake tube off and watch the throttle butterfly operate while some one is slowly pushing down on the gas pedal with the ignition on. You should be able to hear it functioning too.. That's where I would start.

I don't agree that the heat is from an electrical problem - the fuse would blow before any heat was seen.
You do realize the TB has coolant running thru it? So it will 'normally' be too hot to touch.

It is probably a minute or two and it would get hot....

well 210 degF coolant gets things a bit toasty too
however, if you swapped it out with a different one and the same thing happened then in all likely hood it is just normal
unless the service procedure tells you otherwise blindly swapping parts is only a starting point for people wanting to waste time & money,
