sjmaye, if you're speaking of the EGR valve, it will get hot because it's attached to the exhaust manifold. To test it, you can apply a few inches of vacuum to the nipple to see if it holds. If you don't have a hand vacuum (MightyVac) remove the vacuum line, place your fingers underneath the cold valve and push up on the diaphragm. Cap the vacuum nipple with a finger and see if the diaphragm stays up or leaks down. The finger test only works on OEM valves. Aftermarket valves usually don't have openings on the underside so you can feel the diaphragm.
The EGR solenoid will be the same temp as most other engine compartment parts.

I am working on a replacement EGR Solenoid. Would you be willing to try it for me? It doesn't look original but will fit in the original location and function like the original.
