So today, im cruisin along, Bam, no power stearing and my battery light flicks on. I lost the alternator belt obviously. But thats not it, I parked the car, and all of a sudden i notice an extremely loud and fast Ticking noise, definitly not your usual lifter tick, coming from the head. I'm going in to evaluation mode right now to figure it out and am seriously stumped. Enless its a lack of oil (which i havent check as it was to dark at the time), i dont know. Also, i noticed when i stepped of the car when i parked it, it smelled a bit like antifreeze, i popped the hood, and sure enough it was a stronger odor. Any ideas fellas?

Hopefully this brief movie helps, or even works for that matter.

No idea what the problem is yet. Kinda stumped, but i assume the antifreeze smell is from the car possibly getting a little overheated since the waterpump was not turning (no belt running it). As far as the ticking noise, no idea. But i am going to replace the alternator belt and see if it was just somehow a fluke. Also, one thing i forgot to mention was when driving the car, once u take it out of gear, it develops a small (500 rpm) idle surge, but once put back in gear, there is no problem.. I'm extremely confused. Also, travis, i was wrong about the crank pulley not moving, so disregard that comment.
