You need to set the timing. That is the most overlooked thing.
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.
could be bad plug, wire, bad O2 sensor or plugged cat converter.
The fuel mixtue has gone lean.
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.
leaded gas, plug wire off,clogged catlytic converter,dumping raw gas out of exhaust port.
yes b\c oxygen react whit sodium
If it is glowing red it is partially clogged or the engine is running rich.
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.
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.
No, it is impossible to get cancer from glow sticks, thy can cause irritation or a burning sensation of skin if spilt. In some extreme cases of spilling, it can cause dizziness and nausea (vomit). Other then these, no cancer has ever been traced to glow sticks.
