I've measured the underhood temps years back - they hit their high reading upon engine shutdown - I rarely hear my fans running once the vehicle is parked - and yes the fans do work. All that residual heat in the engine just percolates upwards to the where the DI sits.
I did have better luck with DIC longevity (1 replacement) on my 1999 where the hood insulation was removed but the fact that the 2004 is seeing it's 2nd in about half the miles probably is just an anomaly - but am going to remove the hood liner, on the 1999 it only raised the noise level on hard acceleration.
These are hot running engines to begin with - a price is paid with CPS and DIC replacements.
