I posted yesterday about misfiring and changed a spark plug. That problem is fixed but know I hear a noise coming by the cat converter. It sounds like theres a piece of metal or a screw inside bouncing around. Does anyone know what this could be?

I appreciate all the help you guys can give me. I'm a little short on cash so i'm trying to do everything myself to save money and value the mustang better.

check your exhaust connections that might be the problem. Heat shield might be loose as well.

Yeah, or the substrate's come loose, and you'll need to replace the cat . . .

How many miles on the car?

Could be a broken EGR valve . ..

It has 98000 miles on it. Right after the exhaust manifold i've noticed it get so hot that it starts to glow red. Is that from the same problem
