I was out at my friends place having a couple drinks. My other friend decided to come over and have a couple drinks as well. At one point he wanted to show me his subs in his KIA. When he started his vehicle up I heard this rattling noise coming from the engine compartment. He said he lost his power steering, his brake light came on… etc. He told me it was because he had bare wires for his CD player and he thought that because he was screwing around with the wires he lost his power steering. I told him no that cant be so I got him to pop the hood. The motor was running, cranking obviously but the serpintine belt wasnt moving. I felt his belt it was tight and everything seemed okay on the outside. I told him he is lucky that his water pump was connected to his timing chain and not the serpentine belt otherwise he would have overheated and caused more problems. I am suprised his battery didnt die for the distance he went to get there with no altanator. Now it also sounds like something is rattling around inside the engine. What could have caused this issue. It’s just weird. Could it be something to do with the crank pulley or could this problem be internal??

If the crank does not turn.The car should not run.
What was in those drinks and how many did you have? :blink:Read it again. It cranks, it runs just fine. he drove it like this. it cranks but the crank does not spin the pulley.
OMG no. the belt is tight and the crank pulley is stationary. not moving how many times to i have to say this. and this is with the car running. the crank is turning. the crank pulley is not. So basically it runs as if u had no belt on. and i am 150% sure the belt is tight and everything on the outside is a ok. except the crank pulley is a little loose. I will not be taking this vehicle apart they will get someone to do it where they live so i wont know what the problem is until it is fixed. i just wanted to know if anyone else has run into this problem. and once again the belt is tight and the motor is cranking and the pulley is stationary… understand? i dont know how many times i have to say it
sounds like the main crank pully bolt has worked loose and it has coaused the woodruff key to sheer off so its like a free wheeling pully ? check the pully bolt ?
oh i would not be driving it if i where you as the next woodruff key to brake would be the timing belt/chain pully then engine damage
Yeah i told him not to drive it. it is still sittin at my buddies place. the bolt was tight. it also sounds like something rattling inside the engine. he drove about an hour but he said it only started happening about 30 kms from my buddies place. he is very lucky his water pump is gear driven and not belt driven otherwise he would have overheated.
If the crank is spinning and the crank pulley is not
spinning. Did some research.Found out that the crank
bolt is a problem with shearing off in the crank.
I would call the kia dealership.
