Ditto!!!

I ordered mine here, had them installed for $100. Fit was good and no problems.

I checked the pressure between the the first 02 sensors and the engine and there was right at 1lbs of pressure. The converter hasnt gotten red hot again since the first time. I check it about everytime I shut it off. Lately it has been around 105 degrees with a heat index of 120 out and it did not run good at all when the engine warmed up. Today it was 85 degrees out and it ran like new all day, did not have a problem.....I'm stumped.

Thanks

I know we're not "supposed" to get vapor lock, but since we have this 10% ethanol gas on really hot days I would swear that's what I have. My truck kicks and bucks on a scorcher. Then runs like a champ at night or cooler days. I get the misfire codes on the hot days too, this winter I'll look to see if I get them then also.

I was running E10 when this all started. It was running really bad. I stopped using it and it did help for a while a few weeks. Might just have to put up with it I guess....
