The Catalytic Converter is supposed to run hot, but it shouldn't glow 
red. If it is glowing then you are getting raw fuel to it usually 
because the engine is running too rich or maybe the cold start valve 
is open or leaking. The high idle speed is caused by someting not 
set-up correctly, vacuum leaks, or maybe sonmeone switched the plugs 
on the cold start valve and the pressure regulater, that is only 
supposed to be done for a short time to test for a bad fuel 
accumulater. Be sure to plug the access hole above the mixture screw 
or you have a massive vacuum leak, you really shouldn't mess with the 
mixture as it usually isn't too far off and is very sensitive. Check 
the 3 brass screws on the intake, they should be lightly seated 
closed. Check that the throttle plates close all the way, the floor 
mats aren't keeping the pedal from retuning all the way.
