[DeTomaso] Really Hot Header

[sean mundy]

 Thanks Michael.

I thought of that too but my A/F meter and sensor is connected to the left side that got red hot.  During my 4min run it was only reading 11-12.5.  Just about its normal condition.

My first thought was my exhaust was plugged somehow.   Have to get someone to put there hand over the exhaust tips next time I can get it started.

Serious vacuum leak leaning out one side would be my guess.

Thought I had all my engine problems behind me but now I got a new one.   
Started running poorly again after about 15min of driving.  Won't idle, backfires and barely runs.   
Try again next day and it starts but 15min later, crappy again.    
This weekend it was really hard to start cold but eventually I got it to run for about 3-4 minutes 
by blipping the throttle a lot.  Shut it off and smelled something burning.  
Opened the back and my left side header was glowing red.   Right side header was normal.  
My IR temp gun showed only 140 on the heads.  Water and oil temp gauges were barely reading.   
Any ideas on what could cause just one side Header to glow red hot so fast?  Thanks, Sean
