EDIT: and your playing with AFM screw had nothing to do with the CAT dying. There is no way it let through that much extra fuel for that to happen. Unless you made it completely lean. CrUZsida, I know he said IDLE screw. In Matt's second paragraph way above he mentions the AFM and an Autoshop101 reference that I did not check, but *assumed* it was for AFM idle air bypass screw adjustment. If its not its my bad. My personal experience which I related above, only is, that my stupid adjustment of the AFM (and nothing else) made the mixture so rich (judging by the smell from the exhaust) that a 5 minute drive to the servo had my car with an orange hot glowing exhaust from the exact centre of the car conv. and continuing for another 1.5 metres down the exhaust towards the exit. The rest of the system, fore and aft of this orange hot section, was virtually stone cold to the touch and visually black, and the exhaust manifold, which should have been hottest barely raised a sweat. I removed the cat later and found the substrate inside had melted into a big lump. I know these things need heat to work and they produce heat as a by-product of the chemical reaction that happens inside, and I know that fuel in these things kills them as when they heat up the fuel burns. Don't doubt what you are saying, just chiming in with my own experience from my own stuff-ups so that others don't doi the same. Moral of the story - don't eff with the AFM screw - ever, the factory setting is best. [Report message to a moderator]
