I have replaced the catalytic converterfuel regulatorcaprotorplugso2 sensor on a 1990 Chevrolet Camaro Z28. What would cause the car to loose power and the converter to glow red?
You need to set the timing. That is the most overlooked thing.
Why do your manifoldpipes glow red and why cant you drive your 4wheel drive over 45MPH it starts good as soon as you put it in reverse or drive it looses power?
I would guess that your catalytic converter is plugged or your oxygen sensor isn't working giving you too lean of a mixture. A shop owner once told me he checked for a plugged catalytic converter by removing the oxygen sensor and driving it AA short distance to see if power was restored.

Why would the catyalitic converter on a 1998 kia sportage glow red?
super heated by exhaust, your up stream O2 sensor is dead, your catalytic converter is plugged. This is serious and needs immediate attention for risk of fire to auto and severe damage to catalytic converter. If a rich condition causes raw fuel or vapor to reach the converter fire can occur. Get a capable shop to check this ASAP.

What will cause magnesium to glow brighter?
Increasing the temperature of magnesium will cause it to glow brighter. Heating magnesium to a high temperature excites the electrons in the atoms, causing them to jump to higher energy levels. As the electrons return to their lower energy levels, they release energy in the form of light, resulting in a brighter glow.

Normally a blocked catalytic converter or a blocked exhaust will cause that problem. Back pressure, means the gasses cannot escape. thus causing the manifolds to glow.
How do you know if the Catalytic Converter is clogged and needs to be changed?
Loss of power and mpg. The check engine light should also come on. the check engine light will not come on if the catalytis converter is going bad..it will however get very hot and start to glow red. The check engine light will illuminate with a bad cat if the vehicle has a post catalytic (downstream) O2 sensor.
