Im new to here, but i recently purchase a 97 GS-T from a guy named Matt down in Henryville, the car has the following Big 16g, greddy fmic, tb-exhaust, external wastegate and so on...here's the issue. Last night at about 9 o'clock I started the engine and my ebrake light was on, battery light, and check engine (has been on sense bought car)- when i got home the engine smelled like burnt anti-freeze(guessing) and the belt to the alternater and power steering pump i believe was missing and im not sure if the engine has any serious problems, also the clutch slips all the time before i hit full boost in every gear and im not sure if the engine has developed some crank walk instead...if its the clutch, which one woul you recommend?

Thanks,

Tony

"I started the engine and my ebrake light was on, battery light, and check engine "

Alternator or starter.


" also the clutch slips all the time "

Did you try to adjust the clutch pedal?
 
If your alternator belt is missing, your water pump isn't turning. You're over heating (smelling coolant boiling over most likely), and you're gonna blow your HG or warp your head.
 
well a) car hasnt been ran sense the incident b) im missing to belts(alt. and power st.) c) i have a leak in one of the coolant lines that im replacing...and belts are bought and are going to be a bi*** to put in
