    Yep. Sitting at the garage now, he probably won't have time to look at it today

        Is it sitting in your garage or his garage? Have him cut the accessory belt and then try to start it. I've heard of the accessory pullies freezing up so solid that the engine won't even turn over.

        Likewise - I don't see any evidence of cruise control. You only have one cable going to that throttle bracket - you should have two cables going to it.

          Yeah if you take the serp belt off and try to start it that will give you a better idea of whats going on. If a pulley froze up the car should start or at the very least turn over... Best of luck Mark

            It's at his garage. He was trying to turn the alt and it was turning some when it was on the side of the road. I'll bug him about it tomorrow, he told me he probably wouldn't have a chance to look at it today.

              Terrible luck. Hopefully it turns out to be something simple.

                You and me both! Well plus my family and my daughter!!! She was so mad that I didn't take her to preschool this morning in it. Good thing though since it broke down on my way to work.

                        holy crap that sucks!!!! I hope its something simple.

                        I had the same thing though. Thought I seized the motor, turned out to be the AC pulley. Took off the belt and it finally started up. I was like AHHHH.
                        $300 for a compressor is better then $3000.00 for a motor! Best of luck!

                          Yes I barely had it on though.

                          Todd I don't have an AC compressor

                          Talked to the old owner today and he told me the tension pulley was squeaking for him. So hopefully that's all it is!

                            Bloody hell -- sorry to hear about the troubles, man. Hope it turns out to be the cheapest and simplest problem and you're back on the road quickly!

                              not to burst your bubble but I don't think a tensioner would/could seize up enough to stop the whole motor.

                                Probably not, but I can hope can't I?
