05 acura tl had both cylinder heads replaced and the rear cylinder head is running very rich. The rear catalyst gets cherry red and it is running so rich the cylinders are firing poorly.
Since you have a cherry red catalyst surely you have a clogged cat and if you do emission test surely is going to indicate the catalyst. now if the one of the cylinder heads is running rich just confirm whether you have any injector with a malfunction and instead spraying the fuel is pouring the fuel and cause fuel to go through exhaust not burnt and possible that is the reason which damaged the cat.

This starter can be changed without disassembling the top of the engine on the 2.5 with automatic transmission. You will need a 10mm, 14 mm, 17mm, and a 9mm wrench. First with any electrical repair disconnect the battery at the negative terminal. The starter is on the driver's side close to the firewall below the intake manifold. Remove the transmission dip stick so you don't ruin it, then look and study the starter itself. You will notice the starter drive housing with a top and bottom bolt. The top bolt is a 14mm and the bottom a 17mm, loosen both a half turn. Remove the top 14mm bolt first, then the bottom 17mm, this will allow you to pull the starter out of the bell housing. With some angling and no brackets holding the back of the starter you should be able to pull it out enough to disconnect the positive wire and 9mm nut from the soleniod. Disconnect the starter ignition small wire by pulling it off it's connector. Now just pull it out of the engine and fender void and you've got it, saving about a hundred and fifty dollars of labor. Take it to the parts house and match it up with a well made remanufactured or new starter. Reverse the proceedure, hook up the battery.
