i just replaced my water pump and when i put everything back together I guess the rear belt (the smaller one closest to the engine) slipped off. The problem is the car ran for a few minutes before i figured out what the hell the problem was. I heard an odd noise and looked around for a bit trying to hear what it was, then i started to smell something bad and the exhaust started smoking really bad and smelled terrible. I shut it off and noticed the belt had slipped off.

How bad is it that the car ran for about 3 minutes without the belt on? Thank guys/girls

You should still be fine .... get the belt back on & get the car up to temp under idol only!!

i got it back on and everything seems to be fine now. I let it idle for a good 15 min or so then took her for a quick spin. everything checked out good.

Ok So i think i have a blown head gasket. I started the car today and white smoke plumed out of the exhaust. I mean it was rolling out. Then i started to see A LOT of water come out the tailpipes. I think the combustion chamber is leaking into the cooling system and that is what has been causing all my coolant problems and the excessive pressure in the system. When i open the radiator cap its like a volcano. Even after running the car for 2-3 min

When i initially started the car after putting on the belt the 1st time i did hear a pop sound and a o lot of smoke. But after i fixed the pulley it all went away. And now today its smoking and smells like it did when the belt came off the first time

I wonder if when the belt came off it didn't throw something off an caused the head gasket problem
