Yeah, gotta get the codes.... oil anything (pressure or level) would not have been affected... maybe the battery is run down and it’s causing electrical shit. Get the codes and report back... check your oil level tho, definitely

Usually pulley's and tensioners make a lot of noise before they get that far.

Which side of the oil pan is the oil level sensor? Might be the sensor just went bad but it might be the exploding plastic pulley cut a wire from the sensor to the PCM. The sluggishness may be the PCM has gone into "limp home" mode with a bad sensor or without input.

Interesting thought.

@Wambliokiye, I'm not sure if I'm seeing this correctly, but shouldn't the tensioner have a grooved pulley? It looks smooth in your first post.

I can’t remember if the tensioner goes against the back side of the belt, I think it did on one of mine in the past, but I can’t remember which model/engine. Thus no grooves.

It was running on the bearing that the grooved pulley has inside of it. This is the new stuff.15324891183661236636582048513742.jpg 15324891183661236636582048513742.jpg 15324891183661236636582048513742.jpg 15324891183661236636582048513742.jpg

Did you make certain that every pulley spun freely? Even the AC & its satellite tensioner?

What's the oil level on the dipstick? Wipe it off on a smooth cotton rag and see if anything glistens in the sunlight. You have something ugly going on over there.

Were you able to retrieve the codes assoc with the 'check engine' lamp?

If you ran the motor more than 5-min without the belt then you over-heated and all bets are off. If the engine oil is low or has coolant mixed with it then something cracked.
