so i am driving home from my girlfriend's, i take the long way obviously and all of a sudden my car feels like it has no power, my lights get dim, my power steering goes, my "Amp" warning light comes on, and my Autometer volt gauge reads 12...im freakin out with anger, and then im like ok, i gotta get it home, then im halfway home, i look at my Autometer Water Temp gauge, and its pineed past 250...so now im scared im gonna do damage tryin to get it home..


so i get home, park it in the street, and get out..smoke starts to come from under the hood...i look under the car, wha la, anti freeze, or so i think (its a greenish color)...i pop the hood, and my belt jumped off the pullies


WHAT THE F*CK HAPPENED?!?!?!?![:@]

 

well you said it was slipping right? most likely it became to loose and flew off, better hope it didnt break anything

 

Something either locked up or the belt broke.

 

looks like you may need that tensioner sooner than you thought[&:]

 

if you have any bypassed components make sure that the tensioner isn't butting both sides of the belt together where it routes over the water pump if you bypassed the smog pump

 

no belt = no waterpump rotation = motor go boom

 

my buddy came over and we found the problem...my smog pump delete thing is totally f*cked...so the belt jumped off, i lost all power components, and it hit an anti-freeze line thats why im leaking it....fun fun fun

so tmrw its off to autozone to get a smaller belt as a quick fix...then i will order a new smog eliminator from 50resto, along with a new tensioner, and put the bigger belt back on..

 

i still think ur car overheated pretty bad

 

my autometer water temp gauge was pinned past 250...was only for like 3 or 4 minutes though....


how can i tell if major damage was done?

 

the smog eliminator pulley works great.. that's what I used and no more belt issues and it has a real clean look to it also
