What owners wrote
I feel that I stopped the vehicle just seconds before it would have burst into flames, because when I opened the hood to see where the smoke and smell of burning metal and plastic was coming from the catalytic converter was completly red and glowing from the engine malfunction.
Every morning when the vehicle is started there is a "clicking" noise. It increases in speed with RPM. Once hits 2000 (or so) RPM, noise will stop. Noise will also quit after 5 mins of idle. Cannot determine cause. Happens regardless of outside temp, however is better in az summer months. Mechanic cannot find source of the problem. All ideas/solutions welcome.
