Don't have this but if you could have given more info maybe I could have given you some elimination clues.
Note that the computers (ECM)  on these vehicles are in front of the wheel well behind the passenger head-light (access from underneath or take inner wheel-well apart and get at the ECM and check that it hasn't gotten loose from body.  This allows the wires to fray and rub against the body and cuts off a lot of the systems.  This would be a good place to start.
Also note that the injector seals have been problems on these cars for years, assuming it's a 2.2 and is easier to replace complete intake but is a $10.00 fix to get new seals - just a bit tricky to put them in without damaging a seal - which will severely flood a cylinder and cause a lot of smoke from the exhaust - very gassy smell and smoking bad.
I suspect that the ECM wiring is your problem.  You may want to get a piece of harness from the scrap-yard and move this to the top of engine where it is on the newer models.
Good luck, hope this helps.

Serpentine belt

there will be a diagram of the routing of the belt on the bottom side of the hood. You need to specify what engine you have also. One common thing is the tension pulley, you will need to pry on it to relieve tension in order to put the belt on. Make sure you save the alternator for last as you can get to it a lot easier that the rest.
