i fueld up my 1986 toyota 22R pick up with a standard trans and 90K miles .after the fuel up i pulled out of the service station got to the first red light and notice a rough idle, i got on the freeway then noticed a loss of power. i pulled over and the exhaust manifold was cherry red. i pulled off the cat converter thinking it was a plugged exhaust, started the truck and no change in power.what can i do next? thanks

Check your carb float might be sinking due to pin hole leak on it or needle valve. When you pulled the Cat is it still glowing?
