I have a 2001 ford taurus with the DOHC in it and it sat for about 6 months before changing the fuel pump, once we changed the fuel pump and took it for a drive it ran really rough and they said the manifold was glowing red. What can this be? Please help?

Scan for codes and check intake vacuum. It may be a clogged converter or injector and engine is running lean and or a vacuum leak. If 15" or below suspect a clogged converter/exhaust, checked with a vacuum gauge.

We did give it a full tune up with spark plugs and wires and I found out that the converter itself was glowing not the manifold does that make a difference?

No the converter is usually the one that will glow. Scan for codes and check fuel pressure with a gauge.

When a fuel pump goes out it can do so one of two ways either it can quit and stop working or it can fail intermittently causing the engine to stall or not start.
