I dug in further on the issue. Symptoms seemed to match a timing belt issue, and that is what it was. I though the engine might be toast as result, but I was VERY lucky in that I was going slow enough when it happened that no internal damage was done to the engine. Had the work done as that goes beyond my scope of expertise. Had the water pump, serpentine belt, pulley and a new head gasket put on while he was there and it purrs like a kitten (one with 255K miles) again.
Glad to hear that!!! Acually this is a free running engine!! Not interference....... good cars.. I've seen 1/2 million miles some of them... no sh.. kidding. We own 3 Toyotas....2 Corolla's 1 Camry... cant beat'em!!
