my car keeps sayin that my exh is over heating when i just turn on my car how can that be. every since this has been happen it feels like my car has lost power.

 

ummm... maby you have something stuck in there... or your sensor might be effed.


turbo or NA?

 

might be the cats are clogged. would explain the loss of power

 

would also explain the overheating of the exhaust

 

when the main converter breaks down internally it will plug the y-pipe and cause the exhaust to "overheat". check to make sure your converter is not clogged. have a look at the exhaust at night after a drive. if its glowing red, you are either running WAY too rich or your main converter is bad. as a side note, do not park over anything flamable. i.e. dry leaves or grass, paper products etc..you may catch the ar on fire...

 

clogged cats more than likely. Mine did the same thing and then the cat turned red one night so i gutted it.

 

The sensor that detects the heat of the exhaust is under the passanger seat.

Its a small temperature sensor, and it could have been damamged by any interior work you have done.

I saw this light come on when i first got my FC, even upon a cold start. I drove it for a while to no avail. Ended up going to a junk yard, pulling one out of a front-ended FC.

Replaced the sensor and the light stopped erratically coming on.

 

when i go to school in the moring i will see if my cat is red.
