Today, after a 20 mile trip, when I got out of car, I have noticed unusual heat wave coming from the driver side of the car. I touched all the rims, thinking the brakes could be dragging - nothing. There was no heat wave on the passenger side.
Later I realized that it could be driver side cat converter... I have recently replaced driver side AC Delco plugs with Iridium NGK and the original wires with AC Delco. I did notice the resistance of the new wire set was much higher that the old one...
Now, because I did only the driver side, I am curious if that replacement could cause rich condition and too hot cat converter... I do not feel any power loss.
I hate tune-ups! The car was fine, what the hell I decided to replace the plugs and wires!
I have planned a 500 mile road trip. Is it safe to drive like that?
