Hello....
2000 Focus SE, had to leave it sitting outside for a few months while I recovered from a surgery. Put the battery back in it today, started it, and belt squealed like crazy, then smoke began coming from pulley end of engine. Shut it off, then had wife start it while I looked for the cause; couldn't see anything. I'm thinking a pulley froze up, and the belt is smoking but, damifino. I heard a crackling, like something burned for a quick second.
Any ideas where/how to check it out?
Thanks!
