Glowing red exhaust
OK i just got my FC up and running
anyway, the first couple times we started it, it ran on then like 8 mins later i think there was an exhaust leak right by the O2 sensor and it started to smoke....then like 4 mins later the car shut off.
Ok now, we start it, it starts fine, no extra power needed or any hesistation. we ran it for about 20 mins when i noticed the exhaust manifold where the 02 sensor was was glowing red hot. we shut if off b/c we didnt know if it was supposed to be this way or not.
is it supposed to be glowing red hot?

while idling then no they shouldnt glow, but if ur out on the highway for liek 5 minutes then stop and pop the hood then it is normal for it to gow and slowly go away.

well it hasnt been started for a while, it just got started a couple days ago.
BTW its NA
and before there was an exhaust leak of some sort by the O2 sensor and it shut the car off.
this time, the car stayed on, I didnt notice smoke but it was glowin red, but not like glowing bright, but just noticable
oh and it ran on 4K rpms for about 20 mins before it glowed.

dori an o2 sensor failure will not shut the car off. im pretty sure they can run without o2 sensors all together (not recomended), they just dont run very well (realy rich).
i think something else caused the car to shut off which doesnt sound good in my book.

This is a sign of a problem that should be properly diagnosed.

Timing light... you might want to take it someone who knows how to set the timing.. you should just go messing with it.
