So i went to get something to eat, as i was leaving i heard like a rattling noise. next thing i know i cant steer very good and the car stops charging. First thought is one of the belts broke off but as i looked all the belts are on but moving slowly there is a rattling noise and the car is not charging, it steers but it is kind of hard. Im guessing one of the pullys broke? I just dont know which one. But it is dark out maybe i can get a better look in the morning.

I might add that the car does start but it is just running off the battery and the ps and alt belt are two different belts.

Yes i found out the woodruff key broke which caused the crank pully bolt to come loose, luckily not all the way off. I was forced to order a new key which i should get tomorrow or saturday. Im praying it didnt cause any damage but we will see. My car has 209,000 miles so im not surprised that its on its last legs, at least i think so, its just been one problem after another lately.

Well i got the key today but im just wondering if this is how it is supposed to be before i tighten it down. It looks like the key would just fall out when it starts spinning?
