no the serpentine belt is totally separate from timing belt
If the check engine light is blinking that means an engine cylinder misfire has been detected
yes this is an interference engine damage to valves will occur if the timing belt breaks and the engine is turned
The 1994 full size Chevy used the serpentine belt system to drive the pump and fan and it turned them counterclockwise.
To replace the power steering pump on a 2007 Kia Sorento with a 6-cylinder engine, first, ensure the vehicle is turned off and safely lifted. Remove the serpentine belt by releasing the tensioner, then disconnect the power steering lines from the pump. Unbolt the pump from its mounting bracket, replace it with the new pump, and reattach the lines. Finally, refill the power steering fluid, bleed the system to remove air, and reinstall the serpentine belt.
Looking at the engine from the front of the car, the water pump is on the left side. It is the front most & highest pulley being turned by the serpentine belt. Right in front of the power steering pump.
Yes. Have had this happen to me. A serpentine belt is what brings power to both your alternator and your power steering pump. If the alternator isn't turned by the belt, it can't produce electricity, and your engine will stop. If the power steering pump isn't turned by the belt, it can't move fluid, and your power steering will quit working (note that you can still steer in an emergency, but it's VERY tough). Hope this helps. NJM
I have the same issue with my car and I had to replace the cylinder (no. 4 of course)
cylinder
After finding top dead center by turning engine over till compression on #1 cylinder and setting distibutor with rotor at #1 cylinder . engine was ready to be turned over . engine started now at this point is it necessary to remove a wire for crank sensor or ignition system to set the timing w a light.
It is not supposed to be on when engine is running unless there is a problem.
The air temperature in a diesel engine cylinder is 1022 F. This will ignite the fuel. the high compression, 22 to1, will light the fuel. A spark engine with a carburetor may "diesel" when the key is turned off because of glowing carbon deposits in the cylinder, self ignition.
ithe compressor is ran off of the belt, along with the fan and alternator, power stearing and when turned on puts an extra strain on the engine. This is more noticeable on a 4 cylinder than a v6
