I would also suggest checking your Fuel Injectors.

>From what I know, leaky or maladjusted injectors can send too much gas
through the system, and gasoline can end up in the exhaust, and
ultimately
in the cat.  If there is gas in these parts, it will then burn, due to
the
heat, and then things will get very hot... and will meltdown.

Good luck troubleshooting!

Recently my Catalytic converter melted, and after a lot of great advice,
I
took it off and gutted the cat. My 1987 Vanagon Wolfy runs fine now, but
was
wondering why the cat failed in the first place? The research I have
done so
far indicates that my OXS may be bad, what do you think? I do not want
to
kill my engine, it will go south on it's own soon enough (head gaskets).

I do not have any hesitation, bucking, or back firing. My headers are
cracked in places which allows exhaust to leak. I am planning on
replacing
the exhaust system some day, but probably later than sooner.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Andy
