started with serpentine and v belts breaking. i replaced both belts . all pulleys did move freely. i dont believe car overheated while driving it back home to repair. it was driven about 2 miles though without those belts. engine is now tapping and stalling out. cant go past 40mph. check engine light blinking. codes showed miss in 3 cylinders. one shop said engine is shot . they pulled valve covers . another mechanic friend of mine listened to car and immediately said he could fix with new lifters and engine didnt need replaced. i dont know what to think now. dont want to keep wasting money and car still wont run.
