i have a 97' Oldsmobile silhouette that will not start. we were driving it and got gas and when we tried to start the car it just would not start, we tried a small car and a ford expedition thinking that the car was to small, the van would still not start. we then got a new battery, and a starter, when the car started a belt snapped so we replaced that too. The car started but then about two minutes afterwards died, so we checked the alternator and it was still good, so we exchanged the battery and stater and still nothing. Any suggestions? and i can post a video to show you the sounds it makes when it tries to start if needed. all help is good.

Sounds like you may have a locked up component that is driven by the belt. Remove the belt and see if it starts easily but don't run it too long that way or it will overheat.

The belt didn't snap for no reason.

thats true but there was always a funny noise coming from the engine it could have been that the belt was a bit shredded but tomorrow i will take the belt off and see if it starts, too dark right now.
