we all have brain farts. It's always easier to diagnose a problem when you know you ain't gotta deal with it.

having said that, 1SICKhawk: go check your belt!

I really hate it when I am stumped and my wife walks over and says, "what about that", and she is right.


EEERrrrrr, sometimes a break away from the vehicle and then looking at it again is the best thing to do.

I open this due to the "urgent" thread title just to learn your a dumb ***. Thus further supporting the thread title.

"So...
Batter not charging
Service Brake Booster
Engine over heats....

All from running out of gas.....i have no clue where to go next?"

So, I may have had a few beers but...I'm sorry guys. We all have brain farts. This isn't one.

i bet it didn't run out of gas either. Most likely the battery couldn't keep it running anymore.

but you were all right when it started flashing all this crap i didnt think to look at the belt, of course i checked under the hood after it said the engine was over heating, but i was so frustrated didnt even bother to look at the belt plus it was already 7 or so it was pitch black so i let it sit over night, ill tackle it this morning! Thanks again guys!

no problem buddy just glad you didnt pay a shop to tell you about your belt but anyways, the tensioner may be bad which is what caused the belt to pop off or break. before you put the belt on double check the powersteering pump, the water pump, and the ALT pulley. if you havent serviced these in a while possibly 1 of them is making a noise too. which i really hope not man, just wanna point it out for a just in case factor.
