I changed my calibers, but the brake was burning. My rpm jump up and down seems that the catalytic converter is stopped up.

Hi,
Is the issue with the brakes burning or an engine-related issue? If you replaced the caliper and the brakes are stuck, I need you to try something. When it is stuck, open the bleeder on the brake caliper and see if it releases.
Do that and let me know what happens.
Take care,
Joe

Do you know what caused the pads to stick and burn up? With new calipers, you shouldn't have an issue with the brakes. As far as a wheel speed sensor, here is a link that explains how to replace one. If you know which one is bad, let me know and I can give you more specific information.
