Fuel injector stuck open causing catalytic converter failure is there a problem with injectors like the plugs?
Fuel injectors do go bad....just like any other part of the engine. Some shops recommend replacing them during a tune up. Others at least recommend a good cleaning. Running good quality gasoline and a good injector cleaner a couple times a year will do wonders for them lasting longer. There is also the electrical portion of the injector which goes bad and there's not much that can be done to prevent that. I've seen them go bad in less than 100k miles....and then there's my Expedition that still has the original injectors with 208k.

What makes a catalytic converter get red hot on a Chrysler lhs?
A catalytic converter can get red hot on a Chrysler LHS primarily due to excessive heat generated from unburned fuel entering the exhaust system, often caused by engine misfires, a faulty fuel injector, or a malfunctioning ignition system. Additionally, a clogged or restricted exhaust can trap heat, causing the converter to overheat. Excessive idling or driving with a rich fuel mixture can also contribute to this condition. It's crucial to address these underlying issues promptly to prevent damage to the catalytic converter and the vehicle's engine.

Look that is plausable but the real answer is that the engine is dumping raw fuel into the converter (catalytic converter) and burning it inside the converter and this can be dangerous in some cases you can actually have a mini explosion\fire causing a good bit of damage. I hope this is helpful to anyone needing the answer..
