Bro if you got red hot cats DO NOT DRIVE till rich overfuel condition is fixed or you WILL BURN IT TO THE TIRES. This is caused generally by a injector failure stuck open or spark plugs,coils wires. If the cats got to red hot (glowing) they are damaged and this will cause a secondary runability issue as the cat is melted inside the unit. Codes will appear LIKE but may or may not be specific. Po301thru 8 cylinder misfire the last digit being the cylinder in question. Injector will say which one it is saying open or shorted if this is a V8 4.3 for example coils are very seceptible to failure plugs as well. Hope this helps. Also check all fuses
