Why will catalytic converter turn red when car is running new Transmission was just installed?
When traveling home at night from a weekend camping trip, my wife noticed something glowing under the truck. It turned out to be my catalytic converter. My truck had been running poorly and I barely made it home. It turned out that one of my spark plug wires was bad (burned on the exhaust manifold) and was not firing properly. This caused unburned fuel mixture that was not burned in the cylinder to enter the converter where it would ignite and create the high temperatures, causing the converter to glow bright orange. I would say unburned fuel mixture entering your converter is causing the converter to overheat. A bad spark plug wire is only one of several causes of unburned gas. Others could be failing spark plug, stuck carburetor float, etc. Hope this helps.Magdude1ANSWER XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXIt is possible but highly unlikely as a catalytic converter should NEVER go bad unless something causes it. If you have a check engine light "ON" then I would have someone with the knowledge and equipment to diagnosis it for you. It will save you alot of money. Either a very rich or lean condition will cause a converter to glow red and seem stopped up.jd1709

Does gasoline come in different colors?
When I was young there use to be a term caused "white gas". This simply meant that the gasoline was pure as from the catalytic converter. However if you added additives such as the teta-ethyl lead the gasoline from the pump would take on an orange tint. Old gas pumps use to allow you to see the gas being pumped into your car and the color was apparent.
