Catalytic Converter glowing hot?

If you need dis-assembly or replacement instructions for any other auto/car part, or you want to ask question related to your car/truck jeep problem then please leave the comment with your details, so I can provide you the required instructions and solutions.


The details are as follows :-----
You probably have a large vacuum leak. Catalytic converters can only glow hot if they are getting too much fuel and too much oxygen (or air). A vacuum leak will put way too much oxygen in the exhaust and will cause the oxygen sensors to read lean. Then the computer will start adding a bunch of fuel to try and compensate for the lean oxygen sensors.
You may be able to find the Vacuum leak by using an old spray bottle and using plain water to mist the seams of the upper engine and any Vacuum lines that you see.
When the water is drawn into the leak on a running engine, your RPM will drop or the engine will stall. Some mechanics use choke cleaner to do this test, but choke cleaner is combustible, can damage your cars' paint, and can melt certain plastic parts. The safer fluid is water.
The details mentioned above will help.Thanks.

Ford Escape won't stay running in the morning when its cold?

This problem is noticed on many other car models.The engine will not stay running in the morning,you need to keep the gas pedal depressed, if you release the gas pedal, the engine will die.
Basic possibilities for this problem are
Faulty pcv valve.
Problem with fuel system and components.The fuel related components like fuel line,fuel pump ,fuel filter etc etc needs to be inspected and cleaned,if checked out dirty.
Faulty O2 sensors.

But once this common possibilities are checked ok, then
The most common cause for this concern is a faulty Idle Air Contol Valve. This valve bypass's air past the throttle body on a cold start up to help raise the rpms so the engine does not stall. If the valve is stuck closed, the engine will not idle when it is cold without holding the gas pedal down.
You could do is remove the IAC valve and use a carb cleaner and spray into the valve and let it soak for a while. Sometimes the valve gets carbon on it and it can stick. The valve is located on the top of the throttle body and is held in by 2 small bolts. If you follow the rubber tube that connets to the air filter box too the engine, it will attach to the throttle body and the Idle air control valve is on top and looks like a cylinder which is about 4-5" long.
This above mentioned details will help you.
