In that case I suspect if you unplug the AFM and force it into "limp home" mode it'll richen back up and the glowing will stop...

That's a cheap (i.e. free) test smile

^ ETA tongue out if the main cat is blocked it wont drive (i.e painfully slow) and will sound like a vacuum cleaner eek

Had that prob with mine. Was running lean. It ruins the manifolds so I canned the cats and had a s/s de cat manifold made
