I just blew my serpentine belt, and have replced it, know the car will not start. Is there a kill switch on the motor of the car or do I have to reset something?. The belt blew as I was excelreating up hill, and I lost power to the motor.

Does it turn over but not start?? if so one of your acc. on the belt system might have been jamed take the belt off and try to spin all the pullys they shouldnt be that hard to pull
or if the belt thing checks out than one check all fuses with a meter not trial and error. and also you can try resetting the computer by removing the batt for a while... that thing with the belts is a good point why did the belt brake. warn down or just all of a sudden.

mecp certification is not always needed. I have it and it has not helped me out at all. my experience out shines it.
ya the starter turns the motor but no spark to the motor . I've checked all fuses and they're o.k . thats what has me messed up. The belt was replaced last year due to broken pully arm. Iwas also charged for an other belt when the water pump let go a few weeks later . than a few months later the motor blew, and was replaced with a rebuilt. the water pump let go on the new motor and was not covered on warranty so I fgure when they removed it to do the second water pump it was damaged, and eventually broke under stress. thanks for your help good tips but now you no why I asked abot the kill switch. the motor size is a 3.3 pontiac engine.
