Serious problem please help asap
I just got back from a ~10 minute trip and half way through my car had zero power, just enough to cruise at the speed limit. The car started hesitating really bad and smoking, dying at red lights. I reluctantly made it home and looked under the car, my passenger header was glowing red. The temp gauge reads normal.. any ideas?

Hope not something related to a broken valve ...
Any sounds inside the engine?

Timing belt off by a tooth or three or the clogged cat is what comes to my mind.
Im going with clogged cat. How many miles in the exhaust system?

probably since 1992, 100k miles.. I replaced the long single tube going from cat to muffler because it was rusted. I'm going to punch out the cat tonight and see what happens. If it's a free fix, cool. If it doesn't do anything hey at least it rules out one thing.

Just remove that piece you are mentioning and turn the car on. Drive around the block and see what happens.

MAF? Sudden things like this usually point to electronic issues...

It would be the cat for the bank that is running lean... not the 2 into 1 cat.
