Now, that I'm calmed down I'm pretty sure it'st he tensioner.

I'm hoping that nothing else is messed up it doesn't look very snapped, smelled like burning.

Check all your pulleys, and replace your tensioner. If it let go like that its bad.

Yepper, that's Doctor Phil's diagnosis, that and the water pump is on it's way to Fubar-land as well, so it's replaced as well, that and an oil change, since it's 98% of the way due and I'm too lazy to get it done later.  $448.  Dr. Phil also said that the car is suffering emotional trauma because of it's severely unoriginal name.

AJAM II will have to get over that.

All in all, not bad.

Especially considering the fact that I'd be closer to your house than mine if it happened 24 hours later.

On the coupe of the four door.

1995Coupe, 2006.

2003Sedan, never to my knowledge.  The car's still relatively new 66,000 miles.

I guess it should be somewhat obvious from the engine shot that it's not the coupe that had this problem.

Even with the low mileage on your Grand Prix, they're still at risk.  Mine went back in January I think at 61,000
