Red hot!!!
« on: 13 December 2008, 13:37:54 »

Hi all,
Does any one know how hot the exhaust gets. Its glowing red just after the cat. The engine is also missing slightly. Could these be related in any way?? fuel pressure or injectors perhaps???

Has any work been done recently, like cam covers ?
The cats do get very hot but not that hot in general use.
If the wire to the knock sensor has been trapped the engine ignition maybe slightly retarded and running rich, hence miss fire at low RPM and also sluggish upto about 2500 rev's
check the wire from the egr to the knock sensor is not trapped on the right hand bank also check the left bank as well
Ah this is not a v6 :-[
