If I live in another state and Ive got a warrent in Colorado can they catch that? Its only for a traffic!?

If there is a warrant out for your arrest in any state, and if that state reports same to the national database (which all law enforcement uses to check for warrants), then, yes, any police officer which stops you (or nearly any contact you have with police) will result in your name being run against that database, and your warrant being discovered.

If the warrant is tagged with "will extradite," then the officer will cuff you, tow your vehicle (if your contact with him/her is the rusult of a traffic stop), and take you to jail. There you will wait while the extradition process takes place, after which you will be transported, in handcuffs, back to Colorado to face the charges against you.

Fortunately for you, traffic warrants are rarely tagged "will extradite," so while the officer in another state would be within his rights to arrest you because of an outstanding warrant, he most likely would not since once he got you to the police station he would eventually realize that Colorado won't go to the trouble of extraditing you over a mere traffic warrant.

However, warrants are SERIOUS business. You are a FUGITIVE FROM JUSTICE, which means that there are any number of state and federal programs for which you do not qualify, even if, sans the warrant, you would have. It can also affect your ability to get a job.

This is something with which you need to deal... right now.

You need to retain counsel... a Colorado attorney-at-law who is a member in good standing of his/her state's BAR; and then you need to do whatever s/he tells you to do as if his/her words were from God's lips.

And stop thinking of it as "only a traffic violation."

It is a WARRANT FOR YOUR ARREST.

That's serious, no matter WHAT it's for.

You are a fugitive.

Do you not understand the seriousness of that?

Do something about it. Now. Or suffer what could be dire consequences.

Hope that helps... though I suspect you'll think it didn't.
