    You need to have it looked at by a trained professional. There are too many potential causes and side effects of such an issues to try and diagnosing it without a proper fault scan and visual inspection. The only obvious thing you can check for is that the belt is still on the side of the engine.

    I agree with BPG. Due to the loss of belt you will lose cooling and charging.
