Question

Ok herez the new issue. I only want answers relating to the question I dont want ANY posts making fun of ANYBODY including me, ONLY ANSWERS TO THE QUESTION PLEASE.

Question: Ur car is making a screetching noise when itz parked smoke is coming from under the hood (of course it smells) When u turn it off u hear sizzling. You pop the hood its coming from around the engine, appears to be one of the wheels for the belts isn't turning. Possibly seizing up or is seized. Absolutely No leaks anywhere. What do you think it could be? And How much approximately would you think to fix it?

Far Left area just above the silver rad cap(I think its the rad cap) is where the problem looked to be occuring.

My advice would to ask the same question on jbody.org

im sure theyd know for sure.

Pick up a Haynes manual for your car too.

Those things are like bibles to me. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
