Engine Performance problem
1999 Ford Taurus 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 285k miles
My smog pump pulley stopped working and broke my serpintine belt. I was told that I could remove the pulley and the pump and buy a shorter belt and run like that as long as the belt dosen't hit itself. Is this true? what risks are there by taking this step? I just can't afford to pay $160 to have it replaced right now. Thank you.
