This is a sign of the Fuel Mixture being toorich …………. (isn't it ?)
The coughing & spluttering is also goingto be a sign of a fuel mixture problem.
Did you also smell fuel at the exhaust ?
Robin.
( although there have been some posts on the DML in the last month saying the a "Too Lean" fuel mixture can cause the same problem, not too sure about that myself though )

Subject: [doc] Red-glowing cat!
Importance: High
Today I drove my last trip in my DeLorean (this year, that is!)
I'm putting it away for winter storage.
However, when I parked up, having taken the car to the carwash and back to my garage and with normal engine temperatures, driven for around 15 minutes, I discovered that the cat was glowing red!This *might* have been a very close fire, but I'm puzzled to what to look for? Why did the cat act like this? I have never experienced this before...let me also at that it sputtered when I drove it, but I think that's mainlybad spark plugs and/or condensation because of the winter climate we have here right now.
Still - why did the cat glow red...I'm sure it was a couple of hundred degrees down there in the engine bay :-(
Any suggestions welcome
