The fan belt is smoking, it's a brand new fan belt, just got it yesterday. The car also seemed to be doing a "chugging" like sound, as if a pump is broken or something.

SOURCE: Broken Cylinder head valves

sounds like your timing belt may have slipped or snapped a ceased timing belt adjuster could cause this check your timing belt and adjuster and all belt adjustment pulleys before you fix the valves otherwise its bound to happen againalso make sure your engine oil is full

SOURCE: Serpentine belt in a 1995 Mercury sable




I have the same car and last night my belt slipped off. The top small pulley backed it's self out. The problem is in most cars the pulleys are reverse threaded so this wont happen, in ours not so much. The pully spins loose with the turn of the belt so it has to be tightened way down. IT's a pain. Here is a diagram I found and You need a 15mm wrench, which doesn't just come in most sets. Good Luck

The book says "Using a 15 mm socket or wrench on bolt attaching drive belt tensioner pulley, rotate drive belt tensioner clockwise. Make sure spring keeper engages into slot." I would put a socket on the 15 mm pulley bolt and a long handle for leverage. Thats one tight spring.

SOURCE: vibration from fan

Make sure that you have everything you installed flush with mounting surfaces. Are all of the fan blades intact? Unless something bent the fan (unusual) it should be good, but if you need to, get another from a junkyard and try it!

SOURCE: Just replaced the water pump (brand new) and

You've probably replaced it with the wrong pump. The pump can look the same but if you remove it again and look closely you'll see that it spins in the opposite direction. Take it back to the parts store and tell them to try again.

Sounds like you have a serpentine belt that has locked up and burnt or broke. Probably due to an accessory like alternator AC, compressor, idler or tensioner failure.

The car is chugging and also blowing out dark smoke

I do not know much about this vehicle but if it is diesel it sounds like you should clean and or replace air filter and or glow plugs or grid heater... if it is a gas vehicle changing the fuel filter and checking spark plug gaps and plugs and wires also the cap and rotor may have where witch will cause intermittent and weak spark so you could be getting to much fuel and running rich. also if it has a catalytic converter you may want to check if it is partially clogged and if it is have it replaced hope this helps good luck

Smoke, smoke, smoke and alternator/fan belt shredded

If 1994 Suzuki equip with air condition then please check the A/C compressor clutch.

The compress clutch can lock up on a defect ai/c pump and cause the belt to smoke.

Please check for a fail a/c pump first and get back to me.

An fair A/C pump can be bypass via an a/c pump bypass pulley (as picture below)
