Re: car problems help

manifolds mostly only turn red if the exhaust is clogged. check the cat.

Re: car problems help

Check and remove cat, also check how lean or rich you are running. Perhaps your tune or chip was programmed wrong.

Re: car problems help

wonder if the opti crapped out and can the o2s cause it to buck down low and the manifolds to get red it ran real strong until it started sputtering just the manifolds were turning red
