cat is plugged up needs replaced better do both if one is the other is not far behind it.
Loss of power, and a converter that gets red hot.
Un-burned fuel, root cause; bad timing or failed injector\ flooded carb. The catalytic converter gets super hot to clean the exaust as well.
Loss of power, poor fuel mileage, converter gets red hot, possibly check engine light will come on.
Yes, it happens when the catalytic coverter is clogged
Sounds like a plugged Catalytic converter. They plug up and won't flow through and in turn get smoking hot from the reduced flow and kill your power.
Could be timing, or more likely a blockage in the exhaust like a non functioning catalytic converter.
Not likley. You will normally see a loss of power and the converter will get red hot.
Loss of power, excess use of fuel, and converter will get red hot.
a red colour
the converter is blocked inside. you have to replace it.
possibly because arizona gets really hot and you know the hot color is red and phoenixes are red.
I dont quite understand the question, but if it is what i think it is, then the reason a catalytic converter heats up very hot is because it is a component that uses exhaust fumes, and ehaust fumes are hot as they are the end result of an explosion that happened in the engine, therefore heating up its surroundings and making the catalytic converter hot. a catalytic converter glowing red is normal, and even in my 50cc moped (which was new) the catalytic converter glowed red, so for one in a car engine, that doesnt surprise me (far more exhaust fumes).
