Icon3 In need of sum serious help

I was driving today & I came to a stop sign & my car died & wouldnt start back up. I thought mayb my batt was bad so I had an extra 1 in my hatch & when I opened the hood to change em I notice antifreeze on my alternator, hood, crank pulley & all over the belts.
I switched my battery & the car wouldnt start but would turn over.
I think theres a possibilty that sumbody might have put sumthin in my gas tank & if so how can i check it & is there a way to clean the fuel pump out if sumbody did put sumthin in my gas tank...
Thanks for any help

the underline has nothing to do with someone putting anything in your gas tank.

take off your valve cover and timing belt cover and see if your timing belt is still on. pretty sure it's not from what you are describing.

your water pump might have took a **** on you and took the timing belt with it. that's probably why you have all that antifreeze coming out from that side (water pump sits next to alternator).

when you can to a stop did the car sputter and die or did it just stop instantly. if it stopped instantly its possible your car jumped time.

to make sure, turn the crank by hand to make sure the belt rotates. if the belt snapped low, it'll still look like it's on from the top.

now if it is still on for sure, change out the igniter, or just change out the whole distributor.

just cause your car is cranking doesn't mean you have spark. the car cranks cause the starter is turning the crank.

and this is based off of what

now that im done ROFL you should start by checking your timing and ignition coil...also your water pump needs attention so you better change it out before the haters sabotage it some more
