i have the very exact problem, after loosing the sprenten belt, drove the car home, temp went up. i let cool down and the car started fine. bought the belt and tension pulley, stared the car to move it to my drive way and now the engine cranks fast and easy but does not start and the cooling fan will ramp up and down on its own as soon as i turn the ignition key. any feed back today will be appreciated
