Hey like the topic said,I would like to know why my stock oem cat glow cherry red? Also I start up the car today after sitting 4 weeks? Can that cause it to glow red?

 

does the clogged cat-season start or what?
check my thread, i just aked this a few minutes ago

 

Running way too rich. I had this happen to my 2nd Gen when I blew the compression on one of the rotors...

 

khris get rid of that cat ! put on a midpipe. you have an upgraded ecu it will be fine!

 

the cat is clogged...get rid of that pos and put in a midpipe

 

Check this it's not the cat cause I took it off and check it it's fine no damage. Anyway I did buy a new bonez main cat and installed but my main problem is that the car start up fine rev ok and when it comes to idle it want to die and it backfires alot which I know it's normal but this happen way too often, So that been said I have check everything else and my rear housing spark plugs has alot carbon on it. Whcih brings me to the conclusion that my rear rotor is sometimes sticking upon idle, Car Start & rev fine But will work but on normal idle it will want to die. So I will try some ATF and see how it work? Also it does brun rich and the reason y the cat is glowing red is because the car is running way too rich and the main cat is working double time to clean out the exxcess fuel. BTW this is really pissing me off cause I need my ride.khris

 

khris lemme drive your car i'll clean out the carbon

 

yes, u need to redline the **** out of it to clean it out.
