What is your question? Are you getting a code to replace your 02 sensor or something?

If your catalytic converter is getting plugged-up, your exhaust manifold may be getting way too hot. It your cat converter the original unit?

no code comes up. the engine runs a little ruff. i replaced most of the vaccum lines, the problem is i drive the car to operating temp and after i shut the engine down it won't restart until it cools down
