Align those pulleys!Check that all the pulleys are perfectly aligned, then take off coil wire and crank without starting to check alignment. If okay, then make sure the belt is tight. If you still have problems, you may have a frozen component; air conditioner compressor, alternator, etc. Then it's time for a mechanic.

I found that the smog pulley was reversed when put back together by my nephew and his father in law when they changed out the water pump, causing the pulleys to be misaligned and shred belts.
