The end of the rear exhaust manifold gets red hot. I believe that's where it connects to the catalytic converter. Any idea on what's causing this? Also the car was not driven at all I just started it and let it run for 15 to 20 minutes.

BEFORE YOU JUMP ON REPLACING O2 SENSORS (WHICH STILL COULD BE THE ISSUE)

THESE COULD CAUSE A LEAN CONDITION

VACUUM LEAKS

LOW FUEL PRESSURE

RESTRICTED INJECTORS

EGR

CLEAN THE MAF SENSOR
