last night my throttle got stuck up and reved the shit out of my engine..... now im overheating.... no power steering and my heat dont blow out hot air anymore can anyone give me a suggestion of what happened.... i think i broke a belt or someshit haha later
 
Check your oil, is it a tan-ish color? Like chocolate milk? Pop your radiator cap off, any coolant in there? Any oil in there? Check these out then come back to us. If your oil doesnt have coolant mixed into it and there isnt any oil mixed into your coolant but there isnt any coolant in your motor top off the coolant and drive it for a bit, see if it burns up the coolant or if its fine.
 
my belts are missing haha hope it wasnt my hg..... anyone know where i can get a diagram or howto on how to replace???
 
yea i brought it to strauss auto and just told them to put new belts on it tomorow it was only 70 bucks so for 70 ill just be lazy and have them do it haha but yea it was both belts ### i dont have p/s and my car is over heating so hopefully its just the belts and nothing else major
 
oh and stock thanks for the diagram and taking your time to help me out ... i do apriciate you goin out of your way for me
 
There is no belt that goes around both the alternator and PS pump. You're most likely missing the alternator belt. That belt runs the waterpump, and the water pump pulley runs the PS pump, so without the alternator belt you would be exhibiting these symptoms. I flung one on the highway and the same thing happened to me.

So how long did you run this car without a water pump? BTW your gauge showing your Temp. isn't an accurate way of showing how hot the engine is getting, when the water is not moving.
If you waited till the water got so hot to show you overheating on the gauge with no water movement, the engine still could have killed a gasket or warped a head.

There's nothing that the belts have to do with you having no heat, other then the fact it wasn't circulating the water.
I'll pray for your engine.
 
put on a new belt and have driven about 100 miles with no problems so hopefully im good
