The alternator drive belt ( often called the fan belt) is not tight enough because it is worn or stretched or incorrectly adjusted . This makes it slip on the pulleys . It happens when there is a heavy load on the belt, such as when the alternator is trying to recharge the battery after starting the engine , or when the Power Steering pump is working hard as you turn the steering wheel with the car moving slowly. This fault is more common on diesel vehicles since the heavy duty batteries place a greater load on the alternator.

How can you find out if your engine is ruined from your car overheating Why is it not cranking since your engine ran hot?
If it won't turn at all you may have caused a problem. Check to see if you can turn the engine by hand. Does the starter click and the engine start to move? I guess I don't understand what you mean when you say it is not cranking. If you want to pursue this problem any further, contact me at: a_d_kirkwood@excite.com

How do you know if your car engines locked?
Ha ha, i know this one backward and forward, It happened to my car. First off, check your oil, if there isn't any, then it probably seized due to lack of lubrication. Second, if you have a manual transmission, get it towed, and pop it into first gear, if the wheels lock up, its seized. If you don't have a manual, then if you can find it, find the crankshaft nut on the side of the engine with the belt. Find a breaker bar with the correct size socket, and try to turn it as much as you can. If it doesn't turn its most likely seized.
Will a seized car engine even crank at all?
If you want to make sure it is seized. Remove the spark plugs. Take off the starter and try to pry engine to move, with out damaging the teeth of the fly wheel, with a lever. or take off timing chain cover and try to turn engine manually. If you can't budge at all, then your engine is seized. When you run an engine long enough with no oil and then stop engine. Piston's actually weld (seize) to cylinder wall. REPLACE ENGINE...

Can a catalyic converter make my car not want to stay cranked?
Not sure what you mean. Typically you turn and hold the ignition key over to engage the starter to crank the engine over. When the engine starts and runs you let go of the key and the engine continues to run. At which point here does the engine have a problem?

What is the problem when my 2004 jeep liberty jerks when you press the accelerator?
The problem is that when you hit the accelerator, fuel is injected into the engine causing it to revolve at a higher speed. This in turn causes the trasmission to turn, causing the wheels to turn, thus the vhicle moves. If you dont want it to move, either turn the vehicle off or dont hit the accelerator. If this is an honest question, we need more info than that.
What is the difference between engine turn over vs start?
"TURNING OVER AN ENGINE" REFERS TO ROTATING THE CRANKSHAFT, USUALLY BY MEANS OF THE STARTER MOTOR AND THE RING GEAR, IF IT WAS AN OLDER ENGINE YOU COULD USE THE CRANK HANDLE THOUGH THESE WENT OUT OF FASHION DUE TO HIGHER CRANKING SPEED BEING REQUIRED TO START AN ENGINE. PUSHING THE VEHICLE (IF IT WAS MANUAL) WHILE IN GEAR WOULD ALSO TURN THE ENGINE OVER BUT MAKE SURE THE IGNITION WAS SWITCHED OFF UNLESS YOU WANT IT TO START.
