my power steering/water pump belt got thrown off the pulleys while driving, truck died. Put the belt back on, drove to napa w/ CEL on, code reader wouldn't work. Got back on the road 1/4 mi dies again w/ thrown belt. At this point thinking tensioner. Literally Coast into autozone. Manage to get their code reader to work. Reading: #1P1320 IGN signal -primary #2P0325 knock sensor #3P1320 #4P0325 (why repeated codes?)
After codes read the truck won't start. Turns over, tries, but fails. Leave the car over night. In the morning starts up and drives the 3-4 mi home.
I replace the tensioner and belt due to some odd wear marks on the belt and it being thrown off multiple times. Let the truck run till hot, hold at 2,000rpm for a minute. Returns to idle, everything is good then it dies and doesn't want to start.
