<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'> Thanks Michael.<BR>
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.<BR>
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.<BR> <BR>

<DIV dir=ltr>Thought I had all my engine problems behind me but now I got a new one. <BR>Started running poorly again after about 15min of driving. Won't idle, backfires and barely runs. <BR>Try again next day and it starts but 15min later, crappy again. <BR>This weekend it was really hard to start cold but eventually I got it to run for about 3-4 minutes <BR>by blipping the throttle a lot. Shut it off and smelled something burning. <BR>Opened the back and my left side header was glowing red. Right side header was normal. <BR>My IR temp gun showed only 140 on the heads. Water and oil temp gauges were barely reading. <BR>Any ideas on what could cause just one side Header to glow red hot so fast? Thanks, Sean<BR></DIV></DIV><BR>_______________________________________________<BR><BR>Detomaso Forum Managed by POCA<BR><BR>DeTomaso mailing list<BR><A href="mailto:DeTomaso@poca.com">DeTomaso@poca.com</A><BR><A href="http://poca.com/mailman/listinfo/detomaso_poca.com" target=_blank>http://poca.com/mailman/listinfo/detomaso_poca.com</A><BR><BR></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR><BR clear=all><BR>-- <BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>Michael L.
