golf vr6 OBD1 relays warm? 167, 18 and 109

[paceo 22]

right i know these shouldnt get warm and im hoping this will cure my bad idling issues! its an OBD1.

167 - warm

18 - warm

109 - very warm

what are these relays for??? think 167 is fuel pump?

167 is fuel pump

109 is engine management main relay

18 is a load reduction relay

What else have you tried to solve the idling problem?

Have you checked all of the pipes for air leaks? Is the crankcase breather valve at the back left split? Have you tried a known working idle control valve on it?

Quite a few things really.. but I'm sure we can get to the bottom of it lol
