My car was workin fine till my serpentine belt came off and the power steering belt came of my house was about.5miles down so I drove to my drive way and my engine cut off by it self I looked and saw that the belts had slip off my gears so I went and got me some belts for it and the crank pulley was loose so I tightened it and when I got done putting the belt on my car wont start everything turns over but it just wont fully start

There are a number of things that we need to check in order to figure out what is happening.

Here is a video that will get us started but the most important thing is we need to make sure we have spark:

If we do then we need to check the timing belt has not slipped due to the loose crank pulley.

Please see the attached info below that will help with this. If you have spark and fuel, then timing is the likely issue so let's run through this and let us know what you find.

Thanks
