hey i gotta 95 integra gsr and the o2 sensor is connect to it. but the wires dont really match like the green is connected to the yellow and the white to white and the 2 blacks are connected to black.. well heres my situation... im not throwing no check engine light on. i wonder if those wrong wires might make my cat get that gleaming red hot.... i need help i wanna know y this happnes

 

Okay, first lets get this right:

You're catyltic converter becomes red hod (glowing like super heated metal) when driving?

Only when driving hard, or just always? Are the pipes around it becoming that hot as well? Is it only when the car's warmed up?

Need a little bit more info, though I'm 100% lost on what it could be.

 

only the cats gets hot...i had the car jacked up today cause its the first time i was running the engine....(swapped engine) and i noticed the cat was super red like crazy

 

people help

 

the cat is hot? does ur temperature of the engine stable?

check the o2... is this an aftermarket one?


Usually it weouldnt do this.. I had a different o2 in my car and the check engine lite was on... maybe u need to change the cat?

 

usually when a cat glows red hot it is either plugged (ie, the brick or element inside breaks and turns inside the cat) or you are running really rich. Check your
voltage at your connector. Also ohm check your sensor
