Re: cat red hot

["cruznmd" <racuti1@xxxx>]

I had this happen when I first bought my car and was just getting it
to run.

I'd also like to add that a siezed primary pressure regulator or
blocked fuel tank return line will cause this. If the extra fuel has
nowhere to else to go, it goes into the cylinders, the exhaust, the
oil pan....
