    DickJones did you discover whether you had several belts or a serpentine?

    I know it's mean cruel and malicious lol but I wanted to point out to him where he said "Look at me me me I'm not a steering wheel holder, look I have a gallon of green coolant to top off my red long life when it gets low and will be buying a bunch of belts for my engine in case they break...." all the while he may have just one serpentine lol. Of course he could buy 2 serpentines and I would be stood corrected.

    lol...i just turned the key...thinking it was in neutral. The engine turned over really slow...like a battery that is almost dead...did it 3 times...then my trouble shooting skillz kicked in...soon as i grabbed the shifter I knew what happened...lucky I didn't burn up the starter probably...lol...try starting urs with it in gear and not pushing in the clutch. Freakin' newbie...learns another lesson!
