1999 Es 300 Glowing Hot Exhaust Resonator!!! Help!!
I HAVE A 1999 ES300 THAT RECENTLY HAD A CK ENGINE LIGHT AND A TRAC OFF LIGHT COME ON AND STARTED MISSING BADLY. WHEN I POPED THE HOOD TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG, MY ENTIRE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WAS GLOWING BRIGHT RED. . . . . I MEAN BRIGHT RED. I HAD THE NUMBER 6 COIL AND PLUG REPLACED, AND THE CAR IS NOW RUNNING FANTASTIC, BUT THE RESONATOR UNDER THE HOOD STILL HAS A SLIGHT RED TINT TO IT AT NIGHT WHEN IT IS WARM. I NOTICED THERE IS A FACTORY HEAT SHIELD INSTALLED ON THE RESONATOR, BUT I'M NOT CONVINCED THAT THE CAR IS COMPLETELY FIXED. HELP PLEASE IF YOU CAN!!!!!!

Thanks for the info, sorry about the caps, but I have to leave it on at my office incase I have to make any quick entries into my computer. I think everything is fine now. I think there was some left over crap in the exhaust system that hadn't been coughed up yet. I drove the car home tonight (25 miles), and checked the resonator about every 7-8 miles. The glow is gone for now, but I will be keeping an eye on the system for a few weeks. As of right now, however, I think everything is working well. I can't really detect any exhaust leaks, and the car is running like a dream. Thanks again!!!
