could you tech guys take a look and tell me what you think
So I'm on the hywy in 4th about 5k and I start to hear this howling coming from the enigne area and was like WTF???!!!
SO I got of at the next gas station and took a look to see plenty of oil, nothing loose or hanging off but when I got a little closer I felt the intense heat coming up from the motor and was thought "thats more then usaull and Then Noticed that the USDM stock exhuast manifold was bright red on the pass side under the heat sheild Holy chit I could have lit a cigar off the "header" So I let the car cool down for a half hour and drove back home. Now heres the part I don't understand... it drives fine, sounded fine and had no evidence that the car is running strange *when I know it never should be red hot to the eyes! especially just one of the exhaust tubes coming from the motor.*
Now heres what I think went wrong: A spark plug has a fault, wether it is broke , foulded or loose Its the only thing I can come up with. WHAT DO You think?

wouldnt it mean you got a wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy lean mixture or something?
maybe an injector blocked?
just a start...

The car is still stock so that means I have not/ can't mess with the settings...
I wish it was that simple, But maybe the injector is cloged?...
I am going into the garage in a few minuets to pull the plugs, step one and then go from there.
Thanks TBell
