I am discovering problems with "Hot Amps". Is there any tool or utility to tell which of 4-8 queries is causing the problem?
 
PMON (part of TD manager, but also present on the Teradata demo cd) is a good place to start especially with R4 and R5 where you can see SQL being run. It has an AMP CPU Skew display on the sessions screen. Anything with a high value you can display the sql of and find your problem query - give it a try.

For a bit more detail - are all your queries using the same userid/account string? If not you can easily find out what's going on by looking at dbc.ampusage. It has a breakdown of IO and CPU usage by userid/accountstring by AMP.

Anything particularly skewed will be immediately obvious from a quick query.
