what you mean
the car is hard to start and i notce that you have to hit the gas really fast to get it to start up
also the car it seems like it is getting enough gas once it is started but like i say it turns cherry red like after 8 mins of runing
need some advice!!!!

I'm all for the clogged cat idea. Failing that, squirrels moving into your muffler (I've seen it happen)
BTW, the line of thinking for the not enough gas statement:
Running LEAN makes the EGTs HOTTER.
RICH makes EGT run COOLER.
However, Running rich and having your fuel re-ignite inside your exhaust = much hotter.

The headers replace the first two cats no matter what, I belive.
The timing could definitely do it as well. In fact, thats what it was on my 66 mustang. I got my whole exhaust to do that excact same thing.
I seriously wonder why I didn't remember that. Guess my brain doesnt assosiate piston engines and rotaries in the slightest . . . :p

Watch for the sig !
One way or the other the fuel is not being burnt correctly ... bad timing, misfiring, rich mixture, etc
If the cat is glowing red, its life expectancy is about 1 week (just guessing).
Time for a good tuneup and maybe check the engine codes.

5K a second...250K
50 seconds just for your sig...which can slow down the loading of the rest of the page.
I've seen some that approach near two megs and remind me why I never browse forums on dialup....

Now that lil dilemma is out of the way, whens the last time you changed plugs/wires?
Have you attempted at changing the timing at all?
How long has this been going on?
How old is the cat?
