Had my 2002 Sante Fe checked for road trip. Everything checked out ok except it has a red hot manifold. What is the problem?

Too much fuel being dumped into the engine or ignition timing is late and the fuel is finishing burning in the exhaust manifold instead of making power in the engine. If there's too much fuel, you should see black smoke from the tail pipe and the Check Engine light should be on.
