#1: 1.4 8v 206 glowing manifold/idle stalling Author: macj, Location: EssexPosted: Wed Feb 25, 2015 2:03 pm ---- I have had a call today about a little 1.4 8v 2002 petrol that is having a few issues. After a few minutes of idle the car will cut out but always restarts.
If the car is driven reasonably hard the exhaust manifold glows a dull red after about a mile.
He has changed a lot of the sensors on the engine and its on its second catalytic convertor as he thought it was blocked.
This is a little out of my field so I am throwing it open to the experts. I will try to answer any questions

And the excess fuel was detonating inside the cat causing the glow.

I need a list of what he has and hasnt changed along with where the parts were sourced from
