I have a 2006 tC automatic S/C and a couple days ago I ran into an unknown problem that caused the car to stall and not start-up any more.

So here's the story:
I start up my car and it's running fine as it's idling. Then I put it in drive "D" and move like 6 inches. At which time an extremely loud squeal could be heard from the area of the pulleys and serpentine belt. Seconds later, the car stalled and died. Unsure of what it was, I start it up again and it starts; but the extremely loud squeal comes back and stalls the car again. After this, the car won't start anymore when I crank the ignition.

I open the hood and could not see any signs of damage or smoke. The serpentine belt is brand new and recently replaced. I don't see any obvious damage to the pulleys either.

If anybody has any idea or anything for me to check I would appreciate it. I want my car back up and running.

Thanks in advance for any input.

 

Guess it's too complicated. Guess I'll just try some random stuff. Thanks anyways.

Pull the belt, try to start and see if you hear anything. If not spin all the pulleys by hand and you should see something or feel something wrong.

Hey fellas, thanks for the response. I already found out the issue a while ago. It turned out to be a seized idler pulley and loose connection at the s/c compressor.
