Help! MSP just developed a big problem

[mazdarichie]

Ok. For a while now the exhaust on my MSP has sounded strange. I was thinking an exhaust leak was possible. I just had not bothered to look at it. Was at the store this morning and started it and it ran fine for a few seconds. Then it started sputtering and felt like it was missing. I managed to get it the 2 miles home. CEL was flashing the whole time. Pulled in the garage and looked under the car. The catalytic converter was glowing red! Got 2 codes. First one says Random / Multiple cylinder misfire detected. Second one says Intake manifold runner control stuck Closed bank 1a. Anybody have any ideas on my problems? I'm thinking the cat may have gone bad and is plugged up. Could that be the problem?

And the turbo was spooling up pretty heavy in those 2 miles at about 4- 5,000 RPM's.

And the codes showing are: P0300 #10 and P2006 #10

Nevermind. It's the cat. I unhooked the exhaust right before it and the car runs fine now. So I guess I will be buying a new cat. Great.

Flashing CEL is really bad. Do not drive the car while its flashing, stop immediately and turn off the car if it happens again.
