You just changed the serpentine belt tension pulley and spark plugs on your 1997 Pontiac Grand Am Now it will start but sputters and dies It also has a loud clanking noise What could be wrong?

A number of things could be At Fault, the car needs a systematic problem analysis. I would look at the fuel system to begin with, then the cylinder head should be looked at. How are the valves? Timing could also be wrong. In my opinion the most likely problem source in this case is the fuel system.

How often should your serpentine belt be changed?
The point at which you should have your serpentine belt changed depends on the vehicle. It is best to check the owner's manual. That said, under the best of conditions, the belt should last from 60,000 to 100,000 miles, depending on the vehicle. This doesn't mean the belt won't need to be adjusted at some point before it needs to be changed.
