Hope I get some help here cause I'm totally baffled by this. Saturday I changed the oil in my car and noticed the serpentine belt was wore pretty bad so decided to change it. No big deal and didn't take no time at all. But, now the car won't crank. It will turn over and try to hit but then won't. If I press the gas it will start but as soon as I let off the gas it goes dead. I thought maybe I knocked a plug loose but can't find one if I did. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. I'm at a lose. I even put the old belt on last nite and its doing the same thing.
