Belt is in perfect shape, but it just flew off the engine, antifreeze all over but can't see from where, I am guessing water pump and tensioner and I shold be ok? Never saw one come off intact they always had tears trying to think why it slipped off like that, running hot as I pulled over the belt was off just hanging there

Check pullies, see if one is locked up.

I had a belt jump off once. The tensioner went bad. As for the coolant, might be a bad water pump.

Might have nothing to do with the water pump. Check the tensioner. When the belt came off, the antifreeze might have just boiled over from lack of a water pump.

check hoses maybe the belt flew into a hose and slashed it

Wonder if a coolant elbow let go and got the belt wet enough to slip off as well.

All good ideas I will start working on it saturday or sunday coolant elbows are originals 337,000 miles

Since your car is a 97, I hope the LIM gaskets have been done at some point.

Oh god, 337,000 miles on the original elbows?! I'm surprised they lasted that long, get some new ones. I'm thinking the belt may have struck an elbow when it flew off and caused a leak.
When I replaced mine at about 80,000 the old ones fell apart in my hands.

97 only has one elbow...the other is part of the alternator bracket...

Sooo Logan, read up on the how to change coolant elbows so you don't break your timing cover.

Read that bill and I am glad I did I would have butsed that sucker in no tme LOL so based on what seven said and whatv scottys told me once what I am guessing that elbow that is part of the alt bracket does not get changed correct
04-25-2014
correct, its part of the alt bracket, you take the new O ring off the new unused elbow, put it on the cast elbow and your set.

Yeah..it is just like they say.
